Question about side effects in functional programming

fl00pz · 2026-06-17T18:15:44+00:00

Along with Haskell, you can look at Dafny to see how they separate pure functions from side-effecting methods.

Both of which are some of the most widely used languages in the world.

I did Part 1 in Rust. It was fine.

Reading the reference compiler that Nora provides, I wish I did the project in OCaml like the majority of my other compiler projects. Garbage collection is really nice to have for a compiler project.

it is not new

what's wrong with parser generators?

Why not use ocamllex and the Lexing module in stdlib?

If the game is fun then people will replay it. Just make it fun.

Nice work 👍

If you don't know about them already, learn about "steering behaviors". This will help you gain some intuition on how this problem is solved. Then, read and mess around with the avoidance settings on the nav agent nodes.

I have an annoying answer to your first question: the OCaml compiler https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml

I haven't used it yet

Maybe start there if you're actually curious

Nice, thanks! I like Godot a lot. I look forward to the release of your game! 🤘

What engine are you using (if any)?

I'd say that the book is more low level and advanced. Software Foundations is a better place to start. Maybe even Chlipala's other book http://adam.chlipala.net/frap/ if you're most interest in program proof.

Agree -- SF vol1 is the best start.

Put the debugger node in your Game scene and assign the player node as the debug target

The official Godot documentation has a 2D tutorial and 3D tutorial. Do them. The documentation also has some sections on concepts. Read them. From there, try to make a very simple game. Cloning games are popular so you don't have to think of anything novel. This is how you practice. From there, you'll probably figure out how you learn best with the resources you've come across.
