I'm pleased to publically announce a little project I've worked on. Based on a recent research paper [0] that claims fluid intelligence could be improved by training working memory, I wrote up a dual n-back test memory game in Haskell and gtk2hs. This is still essentially an alpha release: all comments are most welcome.

Updated version (overhaul of game with some feature updates): http://pithyless.com/blog/2008/05/30/hback-0_0_2/

Cabal file can be found on hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/hback/0.0.2/hback-0.0.2.tar.gz

Awesome! Is this the first real implementation of the game described in the paper? If so, that's a bit of a coup. Good work by the GTK team that has made these gui things in Haskell so easy. -- Don
