Does it make sense to use FRP (reactive banana in particular) for an ascii game with a twist?

Question

I am thinking of something like a gnugo ascii interface. I would think of turns as a pair of co-developing (monodic, to allow user input) threads. It vaguely reminds me of cables.

I'm not quite sure how I will use existing libraries for this.

Answer 1

You may find an operational package more useful for this.

In particular, see an example of TicTacToe.hs .

Answer 2

Probably not so much. The FRP killer feature, which is a simulation of continuous-time events, is great for graphical interfaces, but it can probably be redundant for turn-based ASCII games.
