Build and run

With cabal

h2048 is now available on hackage.

If you have Cabal installed, you can use the following command to install this project:

cabal update
cabal install h2048

The binaries are h2048-simple for simple CLI version, h2048-vty for CLI version implemented using vty-ui.

Flags

If you just want the functionality of this library, you can turn off flag exe. If you have trouble building the vty CLI version, you can try to turn off flag vty.

An example for turning off flag vty:

# if you are installing package from hackage:
cabal install --flag="-vty"

# or if you are building from the github repo
cabal configure --flag="-vty"
cabal build

Without cabal

First make sure the following dependencies are installed:

• transformers
• mtl
• MonadRandom

In addition, if you want to play with vty CLI version, the following dependencies are also required:

• text
• vty
• vty-ui

You can use following commands to run the program without cabal:

cd src # assume your working directory is the project home.
# to play the simple CLI version
runhaskell MainSimple.hs
# to play the vty CLI version
runhaskell MainVty.hs
