Instructions on Windows:
Download the .zip file, extract the folder "out" to somewhere, and double click on the .exe

Instructions on OSX/Linux:
Download the compressed file. Navigate to it from a shell and execute the bundled executable. Make sure that the assets (dict.txt, kenpixel.ttf) are in the same folder as the one you run the executable from.

If the game fails to run, please include the entire output in the comments below.

Literate (pronounced like "liberate" but with a 't' instead of a 'b') is a game where you need to collect English words as their letters appear on the screen. Once you start the game, click on letters that appear until you've spelled a word. Once you believe that you have spelled a word, hit the space bar to clear the letters. If you've written a word, you will receive points equal to the length of the word! The points are accrued in the top row, while the timer is in the bottom. Good luck!

The game was written entirely using Haskell. I spent only about ~10 hours total over the course of the weekend. Using Haskell allowed fast prototyping and very few bugs during development. The code uses the Lambency framework that can be found by following the README in the source distribution.

Assets used:
kenpixel.ttf -- Font by KennyNL: http://kenney.nl/assets
dict.txt -- Dictionary generated from Linux's /usr/share/dict/words that removed all possessive nouns and words that start with a capital letter.
