Hi, I'm Mark Cornwell.   I am finishing up a game written entirely in Haskell soon to appear on Steam.

Brave Splat is a real time strategy game in a medieval setting.  Mine copper, build your base, train units and defend your kingdom.  Fight off invaders.  Features simple game play and a minimalist graphical style.  The game emphasizes strategic thinking and decision making as opposed to twitch-like reflexes.  It an homage to the classic RTS games of the 1990's.     https://store.steampowered.com/app/2105820/Brave_Splat/

An ingesting aspect of  the game is that it is does *not* use any of the standard game engines.  It is written entirely in Haskell incorporating a couple of libraries to provide a simple graphics library and event-driven foundation.  My background in math and computer science drew me to functional programming and to Haskell in particular.  I started this project because I had no idea how one might write a real time strategy game in a functional language.  I wanted to crack that problem.   This game is the result.  I hope you like it.

Cheers!
