How to fix the Unbound module Graphics in an ocaml project

From ~/pr/gitl/ocaml-gol In a constant effort to learn new programming languages, I'm currently trying to use ocaml , a free and open-source general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language maintained at the Inria . It's basically an extension of Caml with object-oriented features. I'm mostly interested by its functionnal and pattern matching features but the module part of the language can be a bit difficult to understand for someone with little to none ML (Meta Language) background.   The error When trying to use the graphics module to create a graphical window and go just a little further than the simplest helloworld program, here is the result : If the project uses dune : (executable (name ocaml_project) (libraries lwt.unix graphics) ) with this code : let () = Printf.printf "Hello, world!\n";; Lwt_io.printf "Hello, world!\n";; Graphics.open_graph " 800x600";; The first times I built this project running the du

This will let us handle new keybindings for real time resolution change and maybe start to implement the Options game state.

My last post about string handling was written in ruby. This time it's a one-liner I use for a private python-powered project. It is inspired by two StackOverflow answers :  how to convert all items in a list to floats and how to change any data type into a string in python . If you mix the two answers, the result code is [str(i) for i in <list name>] . Now let's see how to use in an interactive shell and in a PyQt4 example.

This design-related post will try to explain how we're implementing RainbruRPG 's game states. As stated in the  last announcement , we now have to handle multiple states : main menu and local test . The game states will allow us to have multiple screens, one at a time.
