CS 410/510 - Homework #2
Create a single Haskell file that contains solutions to the following programs. Be sure it compiles without errors, and submit it via D2L by class time on Wednesday January 20, 2016. As we did with examples in the lecture make a single "main" program which asks the user to select which of the examples he wants to run. Recall that the SOE library works for compiled programs, not programs run under "ghci". Start with the file HW2Template.html which has all the boiler plate you will need. In order to enable this program to find the libraries, put it in the "src" sub directory of the SOE, libraries or use a -i command line argument to "ghc" that points to this directory. For example here is how I compiled my solution
ghc --make -o hw2.exe -i../code/SOE/src hw2.hs

Be sure you put your name and e-mail in a comment at the beginning of the file. Without this you will not get any feedback.

In this homework you will create several programs that use the SOE library. In order to do this you will need to do 2 things before you get started.

  1. Install the OpenGL libraries used by using Cabal.
  2. Download the SOE library.
Some instructions for doing this can be found here.

You may also want to study the three files we used for examples in the lectures on FRP.

  1. Static Pictures. Use the Shape, Region, and Picture types to create a static picture of a "house" with doors, windows etc. Be creastive, try to have a minimum of 10 or more Shapes, and 4 or more colors. Now draw this static picture.

  2. Pictures are Data. Write a function "recolor" with type
    recolor:: Picture -> [(Color,Color)] -> Picture
    
    That changes the colors of a picture. For example
    recolor p [(Red,Green) ,(Blue,Magenta)]
    
    Changes all Red pictures to Green, and all Blue pictures to Magenta. Apply this function with a list of length three color pairs, and redraw the house from problem 1 above.

  3. Dynamic Pictures. Create a picture of a geometric object (you choose what kind of object). The picture should slowly change size as time progresses. The picture should also change color as time progresses. Be creative

  4. Reactive Pictures. Alter the pong game so that it includes a text Graphic that records the score. The score should increase by one every time the paddle successfully bounces the ball back into the 3 walls.

  5. Reactive Pictures. Take the geometric object from part 3 above, and anchor one of its "points" to the position of the mouse. Redo the size and color changing, but include the shape changing due to the mouse. Use the FRP combinators. You may have to use a completely different implementation technique, since part 3 can be done without the FRP combinators.

  6. Just for fun. This part is optional. Create your own reactive picture.
