Confusion about the default/template1.hs

RimuhRimu opened this issue 2 years ago · 3 comments

Maybe it's because I'm new to the haskell language and its environment, but when I started my game with the default/template1.hs, It starts with the random package, and when I submitted my game, I was told that the random package generally does not come with GHC #73 , so it should be moved to the hackage/category (I originally placed the game in the default category). So, my question is: Why does that template include the package random or why is default/template1.hs placed in the default category?

@RimuhRimu that's my fault, I originally thought random was one of the default packages. I'll fix that template, thanks for the report!

fwiw https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/users_guide/packages.html

isn't random part of the list?

I believe it was in older GHCs (that doc shows GHC 6.12.1).
