Sources available, small nice looking game:

Anyone have the skills to make it?

Holy moly! This looks really fresh and nice. I'll chip in for anyone who is willing to make this a reality financial wise. It's fancy stuff like this that the N900 could really use right now!

It's written using a language called Haskell using a compiler named GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler). Never heard of either of them. They look old, but still maintained. Debian armel is a community-supported platform (as opposed to an officially-supported platform). If you go to hackage.haskell.org and click packages (link), you can see some of the software available, including 62 games.

Do we have any other Haskell apps, I wonder?

The game looks extremely interesting. Would love to see it ported.

If you're interested in GHC on ARM then the current efforts on the LLVM backend should be of great interest - it has developed slightly faster than I expected and slower than others had hoped. Also see the slightly older work: alphaccars previous GHC-Omap cross compiler (lots of the coding was done by blackh, iirc).
