Nomyx

A Nomic game in Haskell

Nomyx is a strange game where you can change the rules of the game, while playing! In fact, changing the rules is the goal of the game. Changing a rule is considered as a move. Of course even that can be changed! In this game, the player can enter new rules in a dedicated language, modify existing ones, thus changing completely the behaviour of the game through time.
