Some “notes” ☺ on Haskore

(These are notes from a late-night session on Tue 7 Dec 2010.)

How to get Haskore to work:

I got the haskore-vintage-0.1 file from the web archive, ungzipped and untarred it and put the files inside the WinHugs directory (which I found on my Desktop on Windows). More specifically, I put the examples folder inside the packages directory and the Haskore directory inside examples, but with the Haskore.hs file itself directly within examples.

(I'd add a screenshot here, but I don't know how to do that on Windows.)

On the lecture podium machine, I use this to load the Examples.lhs file:

:l packages/examples/Examples.lhs

Examples> test childSong6

(I do wish I could get it to auto-play in Windows the way it used to, e.g., for input t0 or t1.)

Some interesting links:

• the Haskell Wiki Haskore page .
• World of Warcraft music in Haskore (try samples at the bottom of each page; part of a tutorial).
• culminating melody from above tutorial.
• Bach's Prelude 3 from earlier in the same tutorial.
• Some examples from a tutorial presentation by Henning Thielemann.
• A Haskore music assignment from a class at Lund University in Sweden. (Hey, maybe we need another assignment? Then again, they have only an optional final exam ... .)
• Henning Thielemann's revisions to Paul Hudak's Haskore Tutorial (PDF).
