I believe functional programming does have its place in games and graphics, but I don't think it should completely replace imperative/OO programming (yet). Some aspects of game/graphics development map better to OOP (e.g. graphics apis) and should be handled with such tools. I think, for now, a hybrid OOP/FP approach would be best. Right now, I'm prototyping a game engine in F# and C# to see if one could be viable. Incorporating FP has definitely simplified and allowed me to reason better about parts of code but I'm not sure if the tools and languages work well with each other enough yet. Also see [0] for some thoughts about FP and game development. [0] - https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/edu/seminare/2005/advanced... |
