3D graphics on Haskell in 2023
For example I to this day do not know if there's a library for reading specifically PNG files in a specific format. Yes, there's JuicyPixels which decodes a ByteString into some DynamicImage which may not even be the format I expect. This I guess is fine for most, but I don't want that, so I had to port libspng.

Should raw library bindings drop the namespace prefix?
For context, I have written complete bindings to five different C libraries (freetype2, libvorbis, libspng, al, Chipmunk2D) and the question in the title may very well be the last one I have concerning FFI for quite some time. The question originates from the fact that chiphunk strips prefixes, something no other low-level library I've seen does.

3D graphics on Haskell in 2023
In addition, I am building a Nix library on top of haskell.nix called macaroni.nix that is gamedev-oriented and enables seamless cross-compiling from Linux to Windows. I would say it's the best option for Windows Haskell game x-compilation available today.

[ANN] LD52 game written in Haskell
We just managed to get our ludum dare game finished, including standalone builds (with a very special thanks to macaroni.dev.) The game is a platformer written in sdl and yampa, with build scripts for releasing static linux and windows builds.

Is Nix important also for a team of 1 developer?
Aside from that, haskell/macaroni.nix make x-compilation work great. I even was able to use the h-raylib bindings with little upstream changes/overlays.

Haskell is the greatest programming language of all time
In terms of finished and playable games, it's been Ludum Dare jam games made over a weekend over the years. You can check them out here. They're all Windows-only (x-compiled from NixOS using haskell.nix via macaroni.nix), but you can play them on Linux with Wine64. If you have Nix installed, I have a script that should Just Work.

Any up-to-date cross-compiling methods for Raspberry Pi?
Also feel free to cut me an issue in my related project, macaroni.nix. The project is focused on x-compiling Haskell games and only supported Windows currently. But brick is a viable gamedev library, and Raspberry Pi is a desired target for gamedev someday. So I'd love to help!
