Code for "Make you a roguelike in Haskell for greater good" youtube series.

Clone, then run stack install and off you go.

Upcoming

Basic game

• Applicative instance and Monad instance for Entity and why are instances of common typeclasses important (reusable knowledge)
• Tilemap layers (no replacing the tile after pickup)
• either monad transformer stack or 'runThisEntity' function in the game API
• Dyre for hotswapping
• multiple screens to walk to
• screen re-generation from seed + delta list
• gameplay (alchemy, obstacles, etc) - ask people for suggestions
• design game systems alchemy by applying cat. theory - propose an idea that composable, coherent, closed systems have an inherent fun factor and are related to emergent systems

Nice features

• simplest 2d raycasting
• fog of war
• game data in QQs (procgen,items,monsters,etc)

Portability

• rendering api separation
• ascii backend
• 2d (sdl?) backend
• GL backend
• shader linking correctness with types, write shaders with QQ, check if there's stuff on hackage already
• portable code (ncurses probably isn't very portable on win, even with mingw/cygwin, we want native stuff)

...? (open to proposals)
