| Haskell Allegro? |

Does anyone know of Haskell bindings for Allegro? I think it would be cool to have an Allegro monad... something like: main = withAllegro allegroOptions $ do setColorDepth 32 setGFXmode GfxAutodetect 800 600 0 0 showSplashScreen go defaultGameOptions where go :: GameOptions -> Allegro () go options = do selection <- mainMenu options case selection of SelectionExit -> return () SelectionPlay -> playGame >> go SelectionOptions newOptions -> go newOptions

So, I take it you have a new pastime for the next couple of years? |

Meh... Haskell is pretty awesome, as a language, and apparently, writing the glue to interface it with C libraries is fairly straightforward, so I was hoping someone had already done it. Maybe when my current project is finished... --- |

I didn't even know what Haskell was until you mentioned...

That looks like Allegro 4. |

Well yeah, it does. I haven't done enough a5 yet to pump out an example without thinking. --- |

Last time I used Haskell I would get errors on line 54 of a 53-line file. It was always very cryptic to me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

Haskell is awful to work with! I have no idea why you would want to use it, especially with a c library....use c?

They have a very nice site to learn Haskell interactively ! I tried a few lessons of it and I have to agree with Dizzy Egg... Still, the goal here is the spread of Allegro, not necessarily spread of a horrible language (although one can help another). The more bindings there are to Allegro, the better.

Dunno, I like Haskell. It has minimal boilerplate, it's fast, it aligns well with my desire to avoid state... I like it. But then, I've never been very pragmatic, so maybe that's why imperative languages sometimes annoy me. C is actually quite OK, at least it doesn't pretend to be the ultimate language to end all languages - the goal of the language hasn't changed much since the 1970s. PHP, OTOH, is really horrible in this regard. --- |
