macaroni.nix VS libvorbis

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

And that's PNG, for reading something more hard to come by, like OggVorbis, there's just one tiny mid-level library called libvorbis. (btw does anyone know a working email of the maintainer of that package, I have an update for that too)

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.

Over the past few years I've written several low-level bindings: freetype2 (actually on Hackage), libvorbis (still waiting for a review on that one) and libpng (package name for that is free, I've just never submitted anything to Hackage myself).
