Note To Advanced Haskellers


Hi everyone,
welcome to my Haskell tutorial!



There's other tutorials out there, but you'll like this one the best for sure: You can just cut and paste the code from this tutorial bit by bit, and in the process, your new program will create magically create more and more cool graphics along the way... The final program will have less than 100 lines of Haskell[1] and will organize a mass picnic in an arbitrarily-shaped public park map and will print pretty pictures showing where everyone should sit! (Here's what the final product will look like, if you're curious...)

The code in this tutorial is a simplified version of the code I'm using to organize flash mob picnics for my art project, picnicmob... Be sure to check out the site and sign up if you live in one of the cities we're starting off with :-)
