FunGEn
Functional Game Engine
-----------------------
I am pleased to announce the first release of FunGEn, a 2D
platform-independent game engine implemented in and for Haskell, using
HOpenGL. Actually, FunGEn supports:
* Initialization, updating, removing, rendering and grouping routines for
game objects;
* Definition of a game background (or map), including texture-based maps and
tile maps;
* Reading and intepretation of the player's keyboard input;
* Collision detection;
* Time-based functions and pre-defined game actions;
* Loading and displaying of 24-bit bitmap files;
* Some debugging and game performance evaluation facilities;
* Sound support (actually for windows platforms only... :-[ )
You can download and find more info about FunGEn in:

Your feedback is highly welcome! Nice coding...
