Simple Doesn't Mean Easy

This was a fun project. I'd always wanted to create a game, and while this isn't my own game, it's one of my favorite Atari 2600 games. Probably the first game I got good at. It's an easy game to pick up and play, but not one to master.

Modeling Data with Types

I'd been writing elm for a little over a year when I started this project and wasn't leveraging the type system as much as I could. This project helped me discover the power of union types and I've since ventured into other statically typed languages like Haskell.
