Hi There. I'm looking for ideas to flesh out a writing project I'm beginning. What I am looking for is a set of five games in increasing complexity that would allow for a wide discussion of Haskell. I originally began this project by centering the writing around one large game, but this idea has proven to be brittle. The set of five should include a discussion of: (1) Types (2) folds, maps, filters (3) monoids, functors, applicatives, and monads Thanks for what ever storms your brains bring forth. :)
Have you checked out making your first Haskell game? On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 2:55 PM, Michael Litchard < litchard.michael@gmail.com> wrote:

Writing project? I'm guessing it's not "creative writing" per se. Is it a series of blog posts, or...?

At the highest level complexity I'd suggest reading[1] and trying something like Azad, though it obviously doesn't necessarily have easily-codified rules, per se. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Player_of_Games

Shamelessly stolen from the page of Eta (Haskell on JVM): https://github.com/rahulmutt/eta-2048 I'm not sure how well this fits into what you want, but, supposedly, a lot of fancy details can be left out, including those actually requiring Java (I've no idea what exactly I'm talking about here :D) -- Sergiu

JavaFX is Oracle's latest GUI library. It allows styling controls via CSS (styling was very difficult to do well with Swing, its predecessor). JavaFX is available as part of the standard library since Java 8. So yes you'll need to have Java installed to run that thing. You don't have to know much about Java itself, deployment may be complicated though (depends on what the Eta guys did in that area).

I was actually thinking about completely rewriting the GUI part in something less Oracle-specific, but, given my zero experience in GUIs for Haskell, I only have a very basic idea about the effort it may take. I was also vaguely considering a console interface, but I'm not sure how well it may work out for 2048. -- Sergiu
Hi Sergiu,
Michael didn't mention arrows on his list and eta-2048 is heavy on them
since Yampa is arrow-based, so it may not be suited for this project.
You can find a console interface for 2048 here and it looks a lot simpler
with very light dependencies: https://github.com/tfausak/hs2048
Hope that helps!

Oh, I see, I didn't pay attention to those details, thanks for pointing out!

Ah, that's exactly what I was thinking about! Thanks for sharing the link, I think I'll keep it at hand for personal use :-) -- Sergiu
Hi Joachim,
You can compile the project as a standalone .jar file that can be run via
`java -jar`. 'epm' can also generate a script that runs the 'java' command
with the full classpath set for you if you don't want to wait for the
uberjar generation which is currently a bit slow.
Hope that helps,
Rahul

I once tried to use Gradle instead of Oracle's somewhat buggy and noncomposing JavaFX toolchain, but in the end I decided that it wasn't worth the trouble, so I wasn't sure that this problem was solved. Good to know it's solved for Eta.
'epm' can also generate a script that runs the 'java' command with the full classpath set for you if you don't want to wait for the uberjar generation which is currently a bit slow.
Oh yes, I have seen slow fatjar builds myself. More than once, so this problem does not seem to be uncommon. Regards, Jo
Your first Haskell Game
http://www.hgamer3d.org/FirstGame.html
Note: the games are coded in an 'imperative' fashion but I'm thinking of
transforming them to a more functional approach 😃
Might want help

Hi Michael, I like the idea a lot. I'm having fond flashbacks to David Ahl's BASIC Computer Games (http://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames). Here are two very minimal haskell games, FYI: http://hub.darcs.net/simon/guess-the-number https://github.com/simonmichael/symon On 1/11/17 2:55 PM, Michael Litchard wrote:
