Minesweeper clone in Purescript using Halogen-Hooks

minesweeper-ps

the well known classic game implemented in PureScript using Halogen-Hooks.

The goal of this project was for me to learn more about halogen-hooks and how to use them.

Along the way I used a few thing I had not much experience with:

• SCSS, CSS-Grid
• using a EventSource with halogen (in this case a very simple wrapper for a setInterval/timer)
• preventDefault on context-menues

I'm not sure if this is all really idiomatic so please let me know if any of this here can be simplified or should be done differently.

Overall the expereince with hooks was very pleasant and after I found the hint to effectEventSource the timer-component was quite straightforward too.

You might also find these Halogen conecpts used here interesting:

• parent-component querying it's child (see how the Game-component enables the Timer-component)
• many children/slots of the same type (see how the Cell-compoenents gets nested in the Game-component)
• children passing Output to their parants (see how the Cell-compoenents notifies the Game-component on click-events)
• using Effects (basically just add constaints for MonadEffect and liftEffect)
