[Haskell-cafe] Tetris

[CW Anderson]

To help learn some Haskell, I implemented a pole-balancing video game in
Haskell, starting with the code for the S.A.R.A.H. road simulator by
Maurício C. Antunes (thanks Maurício) that is included in the Gtk2Hs library
demos.  It demonstrates how to do the graphics, interact with the user via
mouse buttons, and the use of IORef to maintain the state.  You can download
my implementation at
