=== Overview ===
LambdaCube 3D is Haskell-like purely functional domain specific language for programming the GPU (graphics processing unit).
Lamda-cube is a 3D rendering engine entirely written is Haskell.
It targets newer graphics hardware.
The engine uses Ogre3D's mesh and material file format.
The main goal of this project is to provide a modern and feature rich graphical backend for various haskell projects. (e.g. FRP libraries)
I'd like to release a preview version soon (in end of March).

Overview

LambdaCube 3D is Haskell-like purely functional domain specific language for programming the GPU (graphics processing unit).

During the years the project had lot of rewrite and reconfiguration. It was a long journey from a Haskell OGRE clone to a graphics EDSL and finally to a standalone compiler. Read more on project history page.

The code is released under BSD3.

The engine and the examples not using physics build out of the box on a fresh Haskell Platform install under Windows. If Bullet is installed, the Stunts example should also be possible to get running with cabal-install.
