Haskell [Final Steps]

Could you take a look at Haskell Alternative pull request? I would like to merge my implementation with current implementation, without replacing all of @jparoz work, but I am not sure I have used the right way to do that ( I am new to git ).

[truell20]

Sure, @Josef-Vonasek. I'll close this for now.

[truell20]

Nevermind, I see that you are sending a PR for this branch.

[jparoz]

Can we include #223?

[Kesanov]

It's a bit off topic, but wasn't the infamous record problem solved in GHC 8.0 ? E.G. Do we need different names for location getters (currently siteLocation and moveLocation)?

[jparoz]

Yeah, with the DuplicateRecordFields extension. I personally never felt it was that big of a deal, and am still in the habit of prefixing.

I think the extension would work in the code. It would be only a few lines changed to implement, if we want to.

[Kesanov]

Also, other starter packages provide some helper functions like inBounds, getDistance, getAngle, getLocation, getSite. Should we also provide them (e.g. in Halite.Logic) ?
Also all of those methods take Map as parameter. Therefore I was playing with the idea of making Map a state monad, but I guess it probably wouldn't be worth the effort (maybe even contra productive). What is your opinion?

[jparoz]

From what I can tell, inBounds is nonsense, as the game map loops around at the edges.

The helper functions seem like nice additions. Perhaps we could name them as such: distanceTo, angleTo, intended to be called like: loc1 angleTo loc2? Not a huge deal.

If a user wants monadic composition for Map, they could just use the implementation in Control.Monad.State. This should be enough firepower for any use case I can think of.

[Kesanov]

I have sent a PR #233. After that I think we are ready to go, unless there is some bug I didn't see.
( Maybe we could post a link on Haskell reddit when it is finished, I think this game can be a nice starting point for haskell intermediates, who are looking for project.)

[truell20]

@jparoz Does this look good to you as well?

[jparoz]

Great work from @Josef-Vonasek! Looks good to ship.

Just curious, why the change to rand?

[Kesanov]

Thanks.

Because our Test instance uses modulo and as you know
0 <= mod x i < i
but
0 <= randomR (0, i) <= i.

[jparoz]

That makes sense. 👍

[AnthonyJacob]

What do you need cabal for?

[truell20]

@AnthonyJacob Having a bit of trouble installing stack in a docker container.

[wizzup]

@truell20 I have no problem installing stack to docker image, please see #282

[wizzup@earth worker]$ docker run -it --rm mntruell/halite_sandbox
