Sokoban Haskell Live Coding

Code from my haskell live coding session of the game Sokoban in haskell.

The challenge was Ruby Quiz #5 - Sokoban.

You can watch the live coding video and many more at Haskell Uncut

You can find Windows executables in the Download Section. Latest binary (could be historic)

How to Play

Cursor keys move the worker

'r' reloads the level

'n' skips to the next level

'q' quits the game

Status

In the first session I implemented a simple console based visualization without any bells and whistles.

In the second session I implemented a rudimentary GUI version based on GTK2HS with snazzy sprites.

Install on Linux / Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libghc-cairo-dev libghc-gtk-dev
sudo apt-get install [cairo and gtk development libraries]
ghc --make SokobanGUI

Install on Windows:

Install "GTK All-in-one bundle" (http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php)
Unzip (for example to "C:\gtk")
Add "C:\gtk\bin" to System Path
Open a new console
Execute "gtk-demo" on console to check if it worked

Install "Haskell Platform" (http://www.haskell.org/platform)
cabal update
cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
cabal install gtk (this will take quite a while)
cabal --make SokobanGUI
(If necessary copy zlib1.dll from GTK folder into Sokoban folder)
