a simple xpilot-like game that runs in the browser, written in Elm.
You can play it at xpilot.io
It was fun trying to make this game in Elm, but I definitely think a different programming language would be a better choice. I was trying to make layers of abstractions that could be reused later for other games, but every layer deeper it got harder to do things like get random numbers or manage local state. Even sending back a message that said a ship was dead was fairly difficult. Also, because all the game objects are stored in a list that changes every frame, the garbage collector has to do a lot of work and makes gameplay choppy sometimes.
So if I were to make it again, I'd probably use PureScript or GHCJS and use some mutable state to save the game objects to prevent as much garbage collection. Also I'd give the game objects and AIs much greater Eff/IO access to random numbers and whatnot.
