Hey there,
I am writing a simple game and the only missing part is IO (Sadly, i need that
to play).
I've got most things pure, e.g. makeMove :: GameState -> Move -> GameState,
initialBoard:: GameState and lost :: GameState -> Bool work pure and as
intended.
I also got a function gameLoop :: GameState -> IO GameState which asks for
Input and applies it.
I don`t know how to do my main :: IO ()
which should welcome the player, start the gameloop, and print godbyes the game
if it's either won or lost
Here i am missing a control structure, to demonstrate:
show hello
board = initialBoard
while (not end board)
board = gameLoop board
show winner
I could also make my Gameloop recursive, while i think that i get this working,
it seems awfully complex (and ugly) to me.
Best regards
Leonhard

Indeed making gameLoop recursive is the (a) solution.
As now `gameLoop` isn't much of a loop, is it?
If gameLoop has a signature like this:
gameLoop :: GameState -> -- Initial State
(IO Move) -> -- Input function
(State -> Move -> State) -> -- Logic function
(State -> IO ()) -> -- Blit function
(State -> Bool) -> -- "Should I quit?" function
IO ()
then main is trivial to write:
main = do
show hello
board = initialBoard
gameLoop board someInputFun makeMove drawState isOver
show ciao
