Revision as of 23:53, 13 February 2011

This page and the #haskell-game IRC channel is the starting point for everyone interested in doing game development with Haskell. You may also wish to join the Games group on haskellers.com.

There are quite a lot of games, unfinished libraries, and interested people out there - please gather links here and join us on #haskell-game !
