# Hickory

Hickory is a game engine for Haskell. The pieces (vulkan renderer, input systems, resource loading, game state management) are fairly modular, allowing some pieces to be used without committing to others.



## Core library: 'Hickory'

- Vulkan Graphics

- 3D Model Loading / Animation

- Camera Projection/Unprojection

- Text Rendering

- Raw Input (Mouse clicks / touches and key pressses)

- Misc. Math Utilities

## Functional Reactive Paradigm: 'Hickory-FRP'

- Built on the 'Reactive Banana' FRP library

- Game loop

- Separate rendering and physics time steps

- Game state recording and time-travel

- High level UI widget abstraction

## GLFW Backend: 'Hickory-GLFW'

- Easy initialization of a Vulkan context and input handling for GLFW (a cross platform desktop library)

## iOS Backend: 'Hickory-iOS'

- Easy initialization of a Vulkan context and input handling for iOS

- Some additional fiddly work needed to get a working binary, but overall this is a relatively painless way to get into iOS development

## Getting started

The Examples/ directory has a simple action game example.

```

$ stack run shooter

```
