This looks fairly interesting, but I think there are a few improvements you could make: * hback does not seem to work with GHC 6.8.x/split-base - I had to add some build-depends like time,random,unix,directory to build. * hback seems to need to be run in its source directory. For example, I installed and went to try it out: hback hback b n b is the number of tests [default=20] n determines the starting n-back test [default=1] (hback:24854): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file 'hback.glade' hback: Can't find the glade file "hback.glade" in the current directory It worked when I cded into ~/hback though. There is a nice way to handle this problem with Cabal, FWIW (I used it when packaging Nymphaea which had the same problem with glade files): <http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2008/02/adding-data-files-using-cabal.html>. -- gwern Bletchley al-Askari erco AG.
