Hi Cafe. I've made a basic game of life implementation with Haskell and OpenGL: https://github.com/sordina/Life/
The basic premise is to generate a random snapshot, then iterate the successor function on it to create an infinite list of snapshots, then output them using OpenGL. I haven't really run into any major issues aside from not being able to figure out how to automatically rerun the display function, however I believe this is an OpenGL problem, and not related to the Haskell side (press 'n' to move to the next snapshot for now). To run the game: cabal configure && cabal build && ./dist/build/life/life <size of square life matrix> I'm intending to improve the performance, and add more advanced features, but I thought I'd get some feedback first. Can anyone see a way to make this code more idiomatic, or any optimizations I might have missed? I'm still fairly new to Haskell and I haven't really come to grips with monad-transformers and the like yet, so if any advanced techniques are applicable here it would really help me link what I think I understand to reality :-) Also, is something like this worth uploading to Hackage, or should I leave it on github? Thanks guys. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
