Installation

For installing the game you need the following packages:

• GHC
• command-line interface for cabal
• SDL2, SDL2-gfx

On debian/ubuntu, you can install them with:

$ sudo apt-get install ghc cabal-install
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev

I recommend using a cabal sandbox for installing the game.

Here are the instructions:

$ git clone https://github.com/keera-studios/haskell-game-programming
$ cd examples/game-board-scaffold
$ cabal update
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal run

If any of these instructions do not work for you, please let me know via issue or mail.

Documentation

To try and make things as clear as possible, the code includes as much haddock documentation and comments as we could reasonably fit. You can compile those with:

$ git clone https://github.com/keera-studios/haskell-game-programming
$ cd examples/game-board-scaffold
$ cabal update
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal configure && cabal haddock --executables --internal
