I don’t use fmod-3, I’m using fmod ex (I can’t remember what version off-hand; 4.something probably). I think that there are, in fact 64-bit versions available.

Anyway, getting it to compile at all is a feat I guess…

And yeah, it’s pretty hard.

As for the code, the main messy part is the propagation of random variables down the tree when the cave is being generated. It’s not a big thing, but it does stink up the code a bit; I should probably have wrapped it in a monad of some sort. A lot of the code is pretty imperative in style, but whatever…

Man, this is some hard game!

I found this via the tigsource forums and tried it out because I am currently looking at haskell and would like to make a small game with it myself.

It is certainly interesting to look at code someone else has written.

Btw.: I managed to compile this under Ubuntu Linux just fine. The only problem I had was the fmod library, it seems you are using fmod-3.75, of which there wasn’t a 64-Bit version available, so I just threw out everything sound related to get the thing to link the main executable.
