# Pioneers
A Settlers II inspired game written in Haskell
## Development-Status
Bugtracker/Wiki: http://redmine.pwning.de/projects/pioneers
## Compiling
1. Clone this repository
2. Set up cabal-sandbox
```
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cd deps
$ ./getDeps.sh
$ cd ..
$ cabal sandbox add-source deps/hsSDL2
```
3. install libraries `sudo apt-get install libsdl2` - make sure libsdl2 is in version 2.0.1+ (shipped with Ubuntu since 14.04)
4. install dependencies `cabal install --only-dependencies`
5. build `cabal build`
6. run `./Pioneers`
Step 2 is likely to break in the future due to restructuring in hsSDL2. This will be updated accordingly then.
## 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
