A strongly-typed, functional rendering/game engine

Haskell-OpenGL

Features

- Full support for loading .obj + .mtl files. - Multipass postprocessing. - Simplex procedurally generated terrain. - GLSL 4+. - Loading and displaying of textures in a variety of formats. - Collision detection via AABBs, using Octrees for speed. - Bullet physics integration. - Uses own matrices, according to the OpenGL 2.1+ spec.

Screenshots

Simplex procedurally generated terrain.

Loading of models, including textures.

Performance

Benchmark was done with a procedurally generated terrain, `200x200 vertices`, with collision detection per face and an `Octree` with a max size (per leaf) of `64`. Test was performed by walking around the terrain. Benchmarked on `4/11/14` with `ghc 7.6.3`.

Tested on Arch Linux 64 bit with

  • 16GB RAM
  • i5-3470 Quad-Core CPU @ 3.20GHz

Performance by GHC/GHCI command:

  • ghc -O2 -funfolding-use-threshold=16
    • CPU: 1-2%
    • RAM: 403 MiB
  • ghc -O2 -fllvm -funfolding-use-threshold=16
    • CPU: 1-2%
    • RAM: 403 MiB

Todo

Changes to Graphics API

- Remove Proxies from data types; use `-XScopedTypeVariables` - Use `Data.Proxy` instead of `NatProxy` and `SymbolProxy`. (Needs `-XPolyKinds`) - Rename `HasBString` to something more clear, like `HasGLSL`. - Remove `Assignment` constructor; use `Action` instead.

Top

- Possibly create a fast, polymorphic matrix library; I dont like any of the ones currently available. - Something similar to [hmatrix](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hmatrix), but polymorphic (Not constrained to use `Double`). - Pure Haskell. - Row-major or Column-major (type-level flag variable). - Use [STVectors](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector-0.10.0.1/docs/Data-Vector-Mutable.html) for efficiency (Check out [bed-and-breakfast](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bed-and-breakfast) for ideas). - Type-level width and height - May also need to define Vec type, to keep things consistent (like hmatrix). - Update performance info. - Redo Mesh AABB generation, so that it works better with Bullet physics. (Don't make an AABB for every face.) - Decrease GPU usage. - General code cleanup, make it easier to use and clearer. - More utility functions. - Better documentation / comments. - Try using criterion, QuickCheck, and SmallCheck. - Add shadow support to graphics API. - Use State Monads more. Convert functions with types like `World t -> GameObject t -> a` to `GameObject t -> Game a` - Create a FRP module, making it optional (Elerea and/or Netwire).

Fixes

- Make walking more stable and efficient.

Additions

- Use [mvc](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mvc)? - Normal mapping. - AI / Pathfinding (A\*?). - Chunks or other methods to allow for infinite terrain. - When the time comes to add animations, large changes will probably need to be made, but use the [ST monad](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.7.0.0/docs/Control-Monad-ST.html) for performance, probably [STVectors](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector-0.10.0.1/docs/Data-Vector-Mutable.html). - Normal mapping / normal textures. - Text / GUI. - Audio support using a library. - Save files.

Performance increases

- Use more parallelism.

Organization

- Define classes to constrain functions, instead of forcing the use of `GameObjects`? - Better documentation / comments.
