What is the problem?
We would like to create a game similar to Pac-man. Our game will have the player navigate the game space using their keyboard and collect tokens in order to earn points.
What is the something extra?
An additional player can be added to the game space where two people can compete to see who collects the most tokens.
What did we learn from doing this?
It was extremely hard using Haskell given our limited background in computer science. It required extensive research online to try to implement our desired task. However, we found that there is not as much documentation for Haskell as there are compared to other languages, which made it a bit more difficult. One thing we took away from this project was how strict Haskell was with type checking. However, a lot of the errors displayed were not helpful. We think this game would have been easier to implement in the likes of Java compared to Haskell. This may be due to our limited knowledge of the language and what we learned in class. We think that having a two player game is plausible in Haskell, but would require more knowledge to implement.
