Pioneers

A Settlers II inspired game written in Haskell

Development-Status

Bugtracker/Wiki: http://redmine.pwning.de/projects/pioneers

Compiling

Clone this repository
install libraries sudo apt-get install libsdl2 libsdl2-dev libghc-llvm-dev - make sure libsdl2 is in version 2.0.1+ (shipped with Ubuntu since 14.04)
run ./build.sh
run ./Pioneers

The script sets up a cabal sandbox, downloads some libraries and compiles them. Only tested under Ubuntu 14.04. Won't work with Ubuntu < 14.04 due to lacking libraries (libsdl2)

Features

Note, that most of it is just planned and due to change.

modern OpenGL3.x-Engine
themeable with different Cultures
rock-solid Multiplayer (no desync, just slightly more lag in case of resync)

Why Haskell?

There are not enough good games written in functional languages.
More robust and easier to reason about lateron
