<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear all<br><br></div><div>(I hope this is not seen as spam. My sincere apologies if you see it as such.)<br><br></div>This is just to let you know that we have released a Haskell game for iOS on the App Store.<br><br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magic-cookies/id1244709871">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magic-cookies/id1244709871</a><br><br></div>There is also an Android version [1]. It's the same Haskell code with just a few minor adaptations [2] (the iOS version is actually simpler). Issues with either version can be reported online [3].<br><br>I hope this is seen as yet another step reached by Haskell. This game is written in the FRP variant Yampa, and uses SDL2 for graphics. While the game is not open source, we've had to extend existing Haskell libraries and tools to make this possible. These changes will now be sent as pull
requests to the corresponding projects.<br><br></div></div></div>We have also developed in-house tooling to make the development, compilation and deployment process for mobile platforms smooth [4]. Recompiling and deploying a new version online is now automatic and takes less than 1 minute. These tools also run directly on Travis and publish new versions of our games directly to stores. We have already started distributing our toolchain to private users, and our plan is to release immediately.<br><br><div></div>We'd like to thank all the users who tried the game
before the release, many during Zurihac last weekend. Also, many thanks to the people
who worked on GHC and the ARM backends over the years, and to all those who work daily to make
Haskell better. We really mean that.<br><br>Once again, I hope this is not seen as spam, but as something worth celebrating.<br><br>And, also, that you enjoy playing.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes<br><br></div><div>Ivan<br><br>-- Keera Studios<br><br>[1] <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.keera.games.magiccookies">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.keera.games.magiccookies</a><br><br>[2] <a href="https://www.facebook.com/keerastudios/photos/a.301326223216244.89053.300854939930039/1701909406491245/?type=3">https://www.facebook.com/keerastudios/photos/a.301326223216244.89053.300854939930039/1701909406491245/?type=3</a><br><br>[3] <a href="https://github.com/keera-studios/magic-cookies">https://github.com/keera-studios/magic-cookies</a><br><br>[4] <a href="http://keera.co.uk/blog/2017/06/01/haskell-android-ios/">http://keera.co.uk/blog/2017/06/01/haskell-android-ios/</a></div></div>
