I don't know about his source code, but the Games page[0] lists:
  - hadoom
      A clone of Doom, using reactive-banana, GTK, and the "diagrams"  
library.
      https://github.com/ocharles/hadoom
  - Frag
      A 3D first person shooting game
      https://wiki.haskell.org/Frag

These might be helpful.

Advantages, when developing software in Haskell, are faster development  
with fewer bugs. Disadvantages are: the compiled programs are slower then  
when written in C and the garbage collection of a Haskell program (when  
compiled with GHC) might sometimes cause delays in screen updates.
