graphics-drawingcombinators 0.1 has just been uploaded to hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/graphics-drawingc... Have you ever tried to write a simple 2D interface or game but found: * wxHaskell and gtk2hs are hard to install and learn * SDL does not provide enough by itself * OpenGL is gross and imperative? Then you're in luck, with the release of this very immature new module, Graphics.DrawingCombinators! This module is a wrapper around OpenGL with a functional interface, handling a small subset but still common set of 2D OpenGL functions. It currently handles some simple geometric primitives and transformations, loading images from files and SDL.Surfaces, and drawing text using SDL.TTF. I plan to add more support for lots of stuff in the future, the next priorities being: * A clean "picking" interface. * Ability to draw non-regular polygons (yeah, that's kinda important isn't it...) If there are any features which you would find useful (as long as it's in the 2D realm, I'm still contemplating how to do 3D stuff), I'd be glad to hear it and implement it. Look at example.hs in the distro for an example of how to use this with SDL. Enjoy! Luke
