Intro/Background

• http://myawesomeblag.blogspot.com/2007/03/opengl-tetris-in-haskell.html
• Code available here: haskell-tetris.tar.gz
• Compile with `ghc --make -package GLUT Tetris.hs -o Tetris`
• Only tested on OS X

 

This program makes use of the following modules:

• http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Data-Map.html
• http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/OpenGL/Graphics-Rendering-OpenGL.html

 

Purpose of program

• Show Haskell's refactoring strengths
• Demonstrate the difference between beginer code and more elegant techniques
• Examples for those who want to use HOpenGL
• Attract the ladies

 

What this program is not

• Fully featured: this program is intended to have enough code to refactor/improve, not to be a finished game
• Bug free: I haven't done too much testing
• "Cleaned up": I'd like to get opinions on what Haskell code from an average programmer looks like. Can it be understood and "cleaned up" by others? Do Haskell's features play into this ability?
