First of all, we'll need a simple tester function: @ sigtest gen = 'replicateM' 15 '=<<' 'start' gen @ We can try it with a trivial example: @ \> sigtest $ 'stateful' 2 (+3) [2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47] @ Our first definition will be a signal representing a simple named timer: @ countdown :: String -\> Int -\> SignalGen (Signal (String,Maybe Int)) countdown name t = do let tick prev = do { t \<- prev ; 'guard' (t \> 0) ; 'return' (t-1) } timer \<- 'stateful' (Just t) tick 'return' ((,) name '<$>' timer) @ Let's see if it works: @ \> sigtest $ countdown \"foo\" 4 [(\"foo\",Just 4),(\"foo\",Just 3),(\"foo\",Just 2),(\"foo\",Just 1),(\"foo\",Just 0), (\"foo\",Nothing),(\"foo\",Nothing),(\"foo\",Nothing),...] @ Next, we will define a timer source that takes a list of timer names, starting values and start times and creates a signal that delivers the list of new timers at every point: @ timerSource :: [(String, Int, Int)] -\> SignalGen (Signal [Signal (String, Maybe Int)]) timerSource ts = do let gen t = 'mapM' ('uncurry' countdown) newTimers where newTimers = [(n,v) | (n,v,st) \<- ts, st == t] cnt \<- 'stateful' 0 (+1) 'generator' (gen '<$>' cnt) @ Now we need to encapsulate the timer source signal in another signal expression that takes care of maintaining the list of live timers. Since working with dynamic collections is a recurring task, let's define a generic combinator that maintains a dynamic list of signals given a source and a test that tells from the output of each signal whether it should be kept. We can use @mdo@ expressions (a variant of @do@ expressions allowing forward references) as syntactic sugar for 'mfix' to make life easier: @ collection :: Signal [Signal a] -\> (a -\> Bool) -\> SignalGen (Signal [a]) collection source isAlive = mdo sig \<- 'delay' [] ('map' 'snd' '<$>' collWithVals') coll \<- 'memo' ('liftA2' (++) source sig) let collWithVals = 'zip' '<$>' ('sequence' '=<<' coll) '<*>' coll collWithVals' \<- 'memo' ('filter' (isAlive . 'fst') '<$>' collWithVals) 'return' $ 'map' 'fst' '<$>' collWithVals' @ We need recursion to define the @coll@ signal as a delayed version of its continuation, which does not contain signals that need to be removed in the current sample. At every point of time the running collection is concatenated with the source. We define @collWithVals@, which simply pairs up every signal with its current output. The output is obtained by extracting the current value of the signal container and sampling each element with 'sequence'. We can then derive @collWithVals'@, which contains only the signals that must be kept for the next round along with their output. Both @coll@ and @collWithVals'@ have to be memoised, because they are used more than once (the program would work without that, but it would recalculate both signals each time they are used). By throwing out the respective parts, we can get both the final output and the collection for the next step (@coll'@). Now we can easily finish the original task: @ timers :: [(String, Int, Int)] -\> SignalGen (Signal [(String, Int)]) timers timerData = do src \<- timerSource timerData getOutput '<$>' collection src ('isJust' . 'snd') where getOutput = 'fmap' ('map' (\\(name,Just val) -> (name,val))) @ As a test, we can start four timers: /a/ at t=0 with value 3, /b/ and /c/ at t=1 with values 5 and 3, and /d/ at t=3 with value 4: @ \> sigtest $ timers [(\"a\",3,0),(\"b\",5,1),(\"c\",3,1),(\"d\",4,3)] [[(\"a\",3)],[(\"b\",5),(\"c\",3),(\"a\",2)],[(\"b\",4),(\"c\",2),(\"a\",1)], [(\"d\",4),(\"b\",3),(\"c\",1),(\"a\",0)],[(\"d\",3),(\"b\",2),(\"c\",0)], [(\"d\",2),(\"b\",1)],[(\"d\",1),(\"b\",0)],[(\"d\",0)],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]] @ If the noise of the applicative lifting operators feels annoying, she () comes to the save. Among other features it provides idiom brackets, which can substitute the explicit lifting. For instance, it allows us to define @collection@ this way: @ collection :: Stream [Stream a] -> (a -> Bool) -> StreamGen (Stream [a]) collection source isAlive = mdo sig \<- 'delay' [] (|'map' ~'snd' collWithVals'|) coll \<- 'memo' (|source ++ sig|) collWithVals' \<- 'memo' (|'filter' ~(isAlive . 'fst') (|'zip' ('sequence' '=<<' coll) coll|)|) 'return' (|'map' ~'fst' collWithVals'|) @ -}
