I've found using Data.Vector works fine for this, just write an indexing function to handle the multiple dimensions. The gloss-examples package has a nice graphical demo of Conway's game of life that uses Vector. Gloss is specifically designed for beginners, so no monads required. The code for the demo is at: http://code.haskell.org/gloss/gloss-stable/examples/Conway/ and the gloss homepage is at: http://trac.haskell.org/gloss/ Ben.

Hi,
A friend of mine wanted to do some Cellular Automata experiments in Haskell and was asking me what packages/libraries are there for multidimensional matrices. I'm interested in both immutable and mutable ones but I don't want them to be trapped inside a monad of any kind.
Any hints?
