Jumpie is a simple platformer, a toy project to teach myself Haskell in a "visual" setting.

There is no real game concept yet. This section will be expanded if that happens.

In the meantime, here's a screenshot!

Some general notes about the installation procedure:

• It's best to use a cabal sandbox: cabal sandbox init (this needs cabal >= 1.18)
• On Debian-based distros, you need libsdl2-dev and libsdl2-image-dev. You also need to download the current version of SDL2 for Haskell (found here), extract it somewhere, open the sdl2.cabal file and change the pkgconfig-depends to sdl2 >= 2.0.2. Then go to the jumpie directory and add the SDL2 source directory to the sandbox via cabal sandbox add-source ../sdl2-1.1.0
• On all other distros, you need the latest version (currently 0.1.2.1) of sdl2-image (the Haskell package). Clone it from github, then add the source to the sandbox: cabal sandbox add-source hs-sdl2-image.
