PureScript implementation is clean and praised
From 1 comment
PureScript is a game changer. Compilation is fairly simple (unlike GHCJS), full Haskell'ish type system and modern/compact syntax, picked up a lot of momentum lately. It find it…

Objections
Visual blocks of same color are hard to distinguish
From 2 comments
It would be better if we could see the adjacent cubes with same color clearly. Especially on objective part, it is hard to determine how long a line segment is if it is same color.
shultays on HNYeah, thin black borders between all the cubes would be a world of help.

stackEqual function is confusing with no documentation
From 3 comments
Awesome game! The stackequal function is confusing though... Any help or description would've saved a lot of time...
gholap on HNI solved the second one using stackEqual. Still have no idea what it does... The interface is really fun though, and the blocks look nice. Only the "Solved!" text is quite small…
thomasahle on HNMaybe I've just stared at the page too long looking for what to do, but I had to come into the comments to figure it out. My eyes completely glossed over "Goal" as it doesn't…

Lacks introduction and tutorial for newcomers
From 2 comments
An intro would've been nice for people like me who know nothing about functional programming.

icefox on HNThank you! I haven't really worked on a nice 'transition' in difficulty. I will try to add more introductory levels with explanations in the future.

Show import/export of programs as text for sharing

Like others I would like to second the visualization of block sizes better. And a brief explanation of commands like stackEqual (is there some sort of normalization going on to…

Mobile version / responsive layout
From 2 comments
Thi is damn fun, well done. Any plans for a mobile version?
MegaLeon on HNThank you. The drag and drop should work on mobile (I use https://github.com/RubaXa/Sortable). I definitely have to make the layout responsive, however.

Questions
What does stackEqual do
From 3 comments
Awesome game! The stackequal function is confusing though... Any help or description would've saved a lot of time...
gholap on HNstackEqual stacks neighboring blocks of the same color on top of each other.
altschuler on HNNot quite, it stacks neighbouring columns with the same pattern of colours on top of each other, e.g. http://i.imgur.com/35N4tPu.png The columns have to be the same pattern…

Great implementation! I'm researching functional programming front-end solutions for my latest web app project. PureScript has been on my radar but would love to hear about…
