Santa's Present Drop - A Websockets Game

Santa has given up with chimneys and is just dropping presents from the sky. Its your job to run through the city picking them up. But there's a catch - you don't know where the present is! All we can tell you is its distance from three GPS base-stations.

Break out your websockets library and your finest trigonometry, connect to the server and triangulate the position of the present before anyone else does!

Building

Client

cd client
make -w

Server

cd server
stack build
stack exec cloud-haskell-game

...and navigate to http://localhost:8000/.

Developing

Take a look at EchoGame to see how a basic game is constructed. Then look at PresentDrop for the real game logic. All the websocket/cloud-haskell wiring is in Network.GameEngine.
