That patch works fine for me. I am actually very grateful you sent that because I had just started trying to do the same thing. :) It's a pretty fun game, I think, and not at all what people think when they think of Haskell programs. I think it'd be good to fix it up and make it portable so that way Hackage can add a Game category. Right now I'm looking at lemmih's SDL-mixer binding <http://darcs.haskell.org/~lemmih/hsSDL/hssdl-mixer> to see if I can hack something up, but if anyone else wants to do it or has any suggestions, they're more than welcome. ----------- On a side-note, if anyone was seeing any initialization crashes while trying out the Shu-thing game, try adding a call to 'getArgsAndInitialize' in main; worked for me. -- gwern
