The Leuven Haskell User Group retro-arcade Hackathon (15 Dec 2015)

Please join us for Belgium's first ever Haskell retro-arcade Hackathon.

If you are not already registered, please do so here.

Session info

During this session you will:

  • get a small overview of the prerequisites for this hackathon.
  • learn to implement a simple ball bouncing around the screen.
  • move a player around using the keys.
  • detect intersections between objects.
  • pair with other people to write small retro-games.
  • give or get advice from other Haskellers.
  • and, if all goes well, play your own game!

Prerequisites - Do this BEFORE you come to the session, as we do not have enough time to support installation on the spot.

Start with a laptop that has:

  • git
  • a recent version of Haskell2010 (including cabal)
  • an internet connection

Open up a terminal window, and perform the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/ToJans/retrohackathon.git
cd retrohackathon
cabal sandbox init
cabal install --dependencies-only
cabal run

If all went well, you should now see a window with a blue background popping up. You are now ready to follow the hackathon.
