Game Development
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
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 !
