It is quite easy to install the binary package [1]; I installed it on
a Windows XP Home, Service Pack 3, system.

 wxAsteroids is a game demonstrating the wxHaskell GUI.

 More about this at:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/wxAsteroids

Maybe I should add more informationn to this:

The main purpose of this game is to learn how to use wxHaskell; it
also shows, in the main function, how a cabalized program can find its
data files.

I don't want to take the credit for this program; I took the source code
and images from the paper:
wxHaskell - A Portable and Concise GUI Library for Haskell [1]
by Daan Leijen. If you want to learn how to use wxHaskell, I can advise
you to read this paper.

Daan gave me permission to publish the code with a BSD license.
