A puzzle game written in Haskell with a cat in lead role.

Project Raincat is a game developed by Carnegie Mellon students through GCS during the Fall 2008 semester. Raincat features game play inspired from classics Lemmings and The Incredible Machine. The project proved to be an excellent learning experience for the programmers. Everything is programmed in Haskell.

Notes

The Raincat executable was compiled with GHC 6.12.1 on Arch Linux i686 and on Ubuntu 9.10. If you are having problems running the game, the win32 build runs under wine.

Runtimes for the following libraries are assumed to be installed:

• GLUT
• OpenGL
• SDL2
• SDL2_image
• SDL2_mixer

Troubleshooting

If you receive the error:

user error (Mix_LoadMUS SDL message: Module format not recognized)

when trying to run Raincat, this is because your SDL-mixer library was not compiled with mp3 support. You will need to recompile that with mp3 support or otherwise obtain a copy with mp3 support in order to run the game.
