  • 3D graphics on Haskell in 2023
    6 projects | /r/haskell | 24 Mar 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
    1 project | /r/haskellgamedev | 16 Jan 2023
    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.

    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?
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 20 Sep 2022
    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!

    The bindings are currently source-only here. I am going to release to Hackage soon (tm), but I just haven't had the time to button it up. However, they do work great. Every game I've done for Ludum Dare except 47 (which was gloss) has used these bindings.
  • Monthly Hask Anything (January 2023)

    The guts are in the Memorable module. There are some operators in there that allow you to pluck individual fields from struct pointers in IO instead of marshaling entire structs needlessly.
  • Haskell is the greatest programming language of all time
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 2 Nov 2022
    The games are built on a custom "engine" made with SDL2 and some other C libraries I wrote bindings for: sdl-gpu, cute_c2, and cute_sound. I use apecs and cleff for the general architecture. And for animations, I use a combination of animate and ease.
  • Linear Types AmA!
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 16 Mar 2021
    You can't exactly allocate data in this custom memory management system, but you can get close with some type-level/generics stuff I think. I've been playing with it quite a bit for no-marshal hsc FFI bindings [1] [2], and it's worked nicely for that in raw IO. With some extra elbow grease, I can probably make it work for pure linear code too.
