DOOM rewritten in the Haskell programming language.
TO ALL, Hello My name is David Allen Blubaugh. I am currently considering starting a kick-starter project in redeveloping the DOOM source code with the Haskell Programming language using the power of functional-oriented programming...... I know that John Carmack was interested in the Haskell programming language and had even recreated wolfenstein 3D using the Haskell programming language. Does anybody have a copy of John Carmack's recreation of wolfenstein 3D using haskell ??? Also would anybody enjoy working with this project ??? What benefits would DOOM have enjoyed had ID software created the DOOM source code in 1993 with Haskell or some other functional-oriented programming language instead of C/assembly programming languages ??? Thanks, David Allen BlubaughElectrical EngineerATR Associate

I don't know about his source code, but the Games page[0] lists: - hadoom A clone of Doom, using reactive-banana, GTK, and the "diagrams" library. https://github.com/ocharles/hadoom - Frag A 3D first person shooting game https://wiki.haskell.org/Frag These might be helpful. Advantages, when developing software in Haskell, are faster development with fewer bugs. Disadvantages are: the compiled programs are slower then when written in C and the garbage collection of a Haskell program (when compiled with GHC) might sometimes cause delays in screen updates.

The free software community has had this problem for years, where we point to remakes of old games as evidence to viability. It isn't. Nobody will be swayed by Haskell DOOM. (Although I would, personally, think it interesting.)

I'm interested in game development, and would be willing to learn and
contribute if the project kicks off.
Just showing my support, good luck with the project.

David,
