We are really happy to announce Magic Cookies 2, our latest game for Android and iOS. You can download the game here. Magic Cookies 2 is the sequel to the classic Magic Cookies. ...

After two years of work, thousands of commits, and over 100 releases on iTunes and Android, we are very proud to release Enpuzzled, our latest game for Android and iOS. You can download the game here. ...

In October we had the great opportunity to give a talk at Haskell eXchange 2019, where we followed up on the discussion of maintaining mobiles games in Haskell. Thanks a lot to the Haskell eXchange organizers for making this possible, and we are looking forward to future editions of Haskell eXchange! ...

At the end of August we were delighted to talk at FARM in Berlin about creating pure functional mobile games in Haskell. We explained the minimization of IO in our games, our compositional app/game structure, and how we can focus on creating games while not bothering about technical details like input devices, backends and platforms. ...

We strongly believe that Haskell is one of the best choices for game and app programming. It’s declarative, it’s portable and it’s robust. However, turning your Haskell code into an app that can be published on the App Store or Google Play for Android has always been painful. ...

We are pleased to announce that Magic Cookies! is now available on Google Play. The rules are simple: your objective is to remove all the cookies from the tray, but be careful: touching any position on the tray will toggle it, and also the one above, below, to the left and to the right. ...

A new version of the game Haskanoid, with Kinect support, has just been made available. ...

We are extremely happy to announce that we now have several Haskell games working on Android, including our Graphic Adventure engine. Also, we have just begun beta-testing one of the games with real users via Google Play (aka. the Android Market). ...

Last week we published a blog post briefly outlining several steps of optimization of a Haskell game. In the article, the last two steps, which referred to parallelism and concurrency respectively, were inverted, making it sound like the Android version was using the parallel library. ...

Haskell is often advertised as fast, easy to parallelize and to optimize. But how much of that is really true? We are going to demonstrate it using a game we are building, including how many changes we had to introduce to increase the game speed by 700% on desktop, how we managed to go from increasing memory consumption in the order of hundreds of megabytes down to constant memory consumption of only 3MB. We’ll also see the impact it had on Android. ...
