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.

History

2015-04-14 - New homepage: http://lambdacube3d.com
2015-02-14 - First working DSL compiler
2014-11-?? - The focus turns for the DSL implementation
2012-08-15 - Started development blog
2012-03-?? - The project was reborn as an EDSL for GPU graphics programming
2011-06-23 - The second big release which already includes a more advanced Bullet binding and the Stunts example; details in the announcement
2009-11-18 - The first release on Hackage: engine and examples, plus a bullet example that will eventually grow into a library
2009-09-22 - The summer report was presented at the JSSP meeting
2009-08-10 - Major public commit that went with the mid-summer report
2009-05-12 - Project announced to be among the JSSP winners
2009-03-31 - Application for Jane Street Summer Project sent in
2009-01-?? - Development started

Screenshots of previous iterations

2012-06 - LC DSL Q3 example

2012-06 - LC DSL Stunts example

2009-11 - Hackage release

2009-09 - JSSP meeting

Tile Racer track loader:

Bullet physics integration:

2009-03 - Pre-summer mock-up

Licence

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.

+LambdaCube 3D is Haskell-like purely functional domain specific language for programming the GPU (graphics processing unit).
-=== Overview ===
+During the years the project had lot of rewrite and reconfiguration.
-Lambda-cube is a 3D rendering engine entirely written in Haskell.
+It was a long journey from a Haskell OGRE clone to a graphics EDSL and finally to a standalone compiler.

-It targets newer graphics hardware.
-The engine uses [http://www.ogre3d.org Ogre3D]'s [http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual/manual_9.html#SEC12 mesh] and [http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual/manual_14.html#SEC23 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)
