Your space ship enters an asteroid belt, try to avoid collisions! wxAsteroids is a game demonstrating the wxHaskell GUI. To run the game, you will need wxHaskell, see: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Download If wxHaskell is installed, and you have cabal-install on your system, give the folllowing command to install wxAsteroids: cabal install wxAsteroids Another option is, to download the wxAsteroids tarball from Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/wxAsteroids and unpack it; go to the directory with the game code and enter the commands: runhaskell Setup configure runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install You will get a message about the directory in which the executable is installed; this directory must be in the search path. Give the following command to start the game: wxAsteroids Use the left and right cursor keys to move the ship sideways. Ctrl-n creates a new window with a new Asteroids game. Ctrl-p pauses/resumes the game. To increase the speed of the space ship, press '+'; to slow down, press '-'.
