I don’t know how much you know about functional programming but if it’s not much then it’s going to be impossible to make something for this weekend. Haskell is a naughty beast. Just an heads up.

Try not to get your soul eaten by the Haskell demons of /r/haskell

Ah well, I’ve implemented Game of Life yesterday (using gloss for graphics), so making an actual game is basically just a small step away! And even if I should fail, I’ll learn a lot of valuable things in the process, so it’ll still be worth it, I think.

SOmeone actually asked me today how many people were doing Ludum Dare in Haskell. I will tell him: At least one. Kudos

Hey! Congrats on Game of Life! I’m also using Haskell for the compo (and if that fails, the jam). If you have IRC you’re welcome to join me in #haskell-game at irc.freenode.net. There are lots of knowledgeable people there that can help you
