@hackage LambdaHack0.8.0.0

LambdaHack is a Haskell game engine library for ASCII roguelike games of arbitrary theme, size and complexity, with optional tactical squad combat. It's packaged together with a sample dungeon crawler in fantasy setting that can be tried out in the browser: http://lambdahack.github.io (It runs fastest on Chrome. Keyboard commands and savefiles are supported only on recent enough versions of browsers. Mouse should work everywhere.)

Please see the changelog file for recent improvements and the issue tracker for short-term plans. Long term goals include multiplayer tactical squad combat, in-game content creation, auto-balancing and persistent content modification based on player behaviour. Contributions are welcome.

Games known to use the LambdaHack library:

• Allure of the Stars, a near-future Sci-Fi game, http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Allure

• Space Privateers, an adventure game set in far future, http://hackage.haskell.org/package/SpacePrivateers

Note: All modules in this library are kept visible, to let games override and reuse them. OTOH, to reflect that some modules are implementation details relative to others, the source code adheres to the following convention. If a module has the same name as a directory, the module is the exclusive interface to the directory. No references to the modules in the directory are allowed except from the interface module. This policy is only binding when developing the library --- library users are free to access any modules, since the library authors are in no position to guess their particular needs.
