README

        A Breakout prototype, for exploring haskell game dev.

This was one of my first Haskell projects, in 2007, now updated in 2020.

## Features

- Runs on Windows, Mac, Unix (requires SDL 2 and GHC 8.10+)

- Standalone Executable (all assets included)

- 500 lines of Simple Haskell

- A Bat

- A Bouncing Ball

- Sound Effects

- High Score

- Pause

## Install

1. Install all of the main SDL 2 libs for your system ([1], [2]).

   Eg on mac: `brew install sdl2 sdl2_gfx sdl2_image sdl2_mixer sdl2_ttf` (but I'm having trouble with this on m1..)

2. `gh repo clone simonmichael/breakout`

3. `cd breakout`

4. `stack run`

## Goals

While it continues... this project's goals are:

- Provide amusement and re-creation for myself

- Research, learn, uplevel my [haskell] game dev powers

- Experiment with tools, techniques, architectures, practices

- Minimise toil, maximise fun

## Help

I'm glad to receive your feedback or help via the #haskell-game chat channel.

Access it with an [IRC](https://webchat.freenode.net/#haskell-game) or [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#freenode_#haskell-game:matrix.org) client.

There is no issue tracker and no email support.

Pull requests may or may not get merged, at my discretion. 

Forks, complementary experiments, and non-costly collaboration are welcome.

(*Minimise toil*)

There's a [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and a rough [TODO.md](TODO.md).
