Add loop support function "controlledGame" #43

Closed EPashkin closed 9 years ago

EPashkin commented 9 years ago

New stateful loop function. Not sure about its name and "main" type (Game or Frame).

EPashkin commented 9 years ago

Seems "main" type only options is Game. With Frame I get an error that I do not understand demo_stateful2.hs:25:5: No instance for (Monad FreeGame.UI.UI) arising from a use of `tick' In a stmt of a 'do' block: tick

EPashkin commented 9 years ago

After thinking, I realized that this attempt is bad. I better to try a variant with "StateT a Game ()" or better "MonadTrans t => t a Game()" and with some Maybe for stopping execution. And splitting processing into computation and drawing in the library are unnecessary.

Your controlledGame is general enough not to include in this package.

EPashkin commented 9 years ago

Unfortunately, my English is not enough to understand your answer. Can you split it into two sentences?

fumieval commented 9 years ago

controlledGame doesn't depend on anything in free-game. Instead, you can make a separate package that provides such combinators.

Perhaps the monad-loops package is what you want.

Understand now, tnx.
