Game Engines and Libraries
- FunGEn
- FunGEn (Functional Game Engine) is a platform-independent 2D OpenGL-based BSD-licensed game engine. As of 2011 it's the only general-purpose game engine, and the quickest way to throw together simple 2D games, in Haskell.
- FunGEn Andre Furtado's original 2002 release and project page with docs
- FunGEn on hackage Miloslav Raus's 2008 cabalised version, no repo
- fungen Simon Michael's 2008/2011 branch, cabalised and updated for GHC 6.12; forks and patches welcome
- Hipmunk
- Hipmunk: A Haskell binding for Chipmunk. Chipmunk is a fast, simple, portable, 2D physics engine. It is completely self-contained. See also HipmunkPlayground: a simple OpenGL program that allows you to see some of Hipmunk's functions in action.
- Hpysics
- Hpysics is a physics engine written using Data Parallel Haskell during Google Summer of Code 2008.
- Bullet
- A wrapper for the Bullet physics engine.
- game-tree
- game-tree is a purely functional library for searching game trees - useful for zero-sum two player games.
- IrrHaskell
- Haskell binding to the Irrlicht game engine. The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine
- LambdaCube
- LambdaCube is a 3D rendering engine entirely written in Haskell. The main goal of this project is to provide a modern and feature rich graphical backend for various Haskell projects, and in the long run it is intended to be a practical solution even for serious purposes.
