README

The first steps with Haskell in my favourite domain: computer-graphics. Not
overly flashy, but not too simple either. There is animation, randomness and 3D
so it should be a nice playground for other Haskell-beginners like me, who get
bored by tic-tac-toe, project euler and the like.

There are currently four examples:

 * curves.hs - 2D cubic bézier-curves
 * 3d-in-2d.hs - perspective camera, projection and 3D cubic bézier-curves
 * random-points-on-sphere.hs - pretty self-explanatory
 * lorenz-attractor.hs - the famous ode-system
 * bezier-surface.hs - cubic bézier-patch

Here's a short screencast:

The dependencies are modest:

 * make 4.11
 * ghc 8.2.2
 * gloss 1.11.1.1

I compiles and runs under recent Linux-distributions (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 and up).
Furhtermore it also works under Windows 7 and higher. Only you cannot use the
"-dynamic" option on this platform. It probably also works on recent intel-based
MacOS machines, but I've not tested it. Anyone who does please report back your
findings.

How to compile:

 1> make

That's all there is to it. Then just run the different binaries. I'm not using
cabal and/or stack, since I'm still very new to the whole Haskell-ecosystem and
not very familiar with the usual procedures there. For the provided examples the
plain Makefile works just fine.

Feedback and patches are welcome.
