In this video tutorial, we'll build a version of the classic game 'Snake!', from scratch.
Snake is an excellent "Hello, world!" project to help you learn any game engine, but here we'll be using our very own, Indigo.
If you'd like to follow along, please take a look at our Giter8 template to get set up with a blank project:

If you'd like to explore the final project, there is a supporting Github repo, here:
Indigo and Tyrian are both based on flavours of the Elm architecture; But why that architecture pattern, and how does it work?
In this post, we define some desired principles of how we'd like to program a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and watch the Elm architecture's API inevitably emerge.
It's 2024! Yes, I know we're well into Feburary by now... but did you make any new years resolutions?
One of my resolutions from last year, was to work up the nerve to do another Scala meet-up talk on Indigo. The last time I did one ('Functional Game Programming') was in the heady days of pre-pandemic 2020, and a lot has happened since then, both in terms of Indigo's development, and the Scala community in general.
