samtay / snake

A terminal interface for Snake

Hi there 👋

• 🦀 I like writing code, typically in Rust these days.
• 📋 I write infrequently at samtay.github.io.
• 💎 I write more frequently in obsidian, but not for public consumption.

snake's Issues

paused v. frozen

I love this code! Thanks!

Why does the game have both paused and frozen properties?

Comple error probably due to more recent vesion of Brick

Getting the following compile errors:

src/UI.hs:12:47: error: Module ‘Brick’ does not export ‘Next’
   |
12 |   ( App(..), AttrMap, BrickEvent(..), EventM, Next, Widget
   |                                               ^^^^

src/UI.hs:14:5: error: Module ‘Brick’ does not export ‘continue’
   |
14 |   , continue, halt
   |     ^^^^^^^^

This is using brick-2.3.1.

I tried downgrading the brick dependency and got down to brick-1.15 (which required that I change from ghc-9.6 to ghc-9.2) but then ran into other problems compiling vty.

I would greatly appreciate it if snake could be upgraded to build with the latest brick release on Hackage and ghc-9.6 or later.

No instruction on how to start playing

Okay, this caught me; I gave up because, after launching the game, the game appeared and nothing moved. I tried everything for the longest time except hit an arrow key.

So, I've added an instruction in the README to simply start the game by pressing an arrow key. I'll submit a PR immediately with the change.
