Level Up! Game Development With PureScript Native
summary
Claim: PureScript Native compiles PureScript to C++ so real 3D games can be written with PureScript logic and a C++ engine. Implementation details: use the PureScript Native compiler, write C++ FFI exports, bind to Panda3D for rendering, adapt FRP timing from JS to a threaded model. Concrete results: a working game called Lambda Lantern builds in ~7 minutes from scratch and ~10 seconds incremental, packages via AppImage/DMG/NSIS, and runs successfully after the C++ binding and packaging steps.
