Subject: [Haskell-beginners] [Netwire] Problems constructing a simple
Event Wire
Message-ID: <20161227074911.ga15...@casa.casa>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hello list,
I am learning netwire and decided to write a simple toy program
to get to know the library better. The structure is extremely
simple:
1. a MVar is created and an endless loop fills it with Char
2. a Wire is created (using mkGen_) to provide Events (from the
source described in (1))
3. the final Wire performs some basic filtering/merging on (2)
and outputs a behaviour which is then printed on screen.
[[[ I attach a commented .hs, `main` to test, 'x' and C-c to exit ]]]
The final wire `testWire2 = hold . (keyQ &> keyA)` doesn't work as
expected, i.e. it responds to Q keypresses but not to A ones.
I suspect the problem lies in how I used `mkGen_` to create the
'source' wire, but I am not sure to fix it.
Any help appreciated!

Hi,
In the end I used a set to hold tuples of int pairs (row, col) and manipulated
them
type By = Int
type Row = Int
type Col = Int
type Pixels = Set (Row, Col)
data Screen = Screen
{ maxX :: Col,
maxY :: Row,
pixels :: Pixels
}
Thanks
Mike
