3 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/vu3rdd/functorrent.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/vu3rdd/functorrent)
7 Functorrent can be build with [Cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) sandbox or
8 [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/).
12 Sandboxes give you per project independent containers, just like Python's
16 $ git clone https://github.com/vu3rdd/functorrent && cd functorrent
18 $ cabal install --only-dependencies --enable-tests
19 $ cabal build # binaries in ./dist/built/functorrent/*
23 ``$ nix-shell``` at the root of the source code repo should drop you into a
24 shell which has all the package dependencies installed.
29 [nix-shell] $ cabal configure && cabal build
33 - Become more profient with Haskell.
34 - Implement something non-trivial with Haskell (crypto, file operations, network
35 operations, concurrency, bit twiddling, DHT).
36 - Follow the spec ([official spec](http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0003.html), [unofficial spec](https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification))
37 - Easy for newbies like me to read and understand along side the spec.
38 - doctest and quickcheck tests.
39 - Follow Haskell Style Guide - https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md
43 - can decode torrent files (bencoding)
44 - talk to the tracker and get the peer list
45 - the `main' program takes a torrent file (in the local file system) as input and
46 prints the {ip,port} for each peer, after talking to the tracker.
52 * Get the file download working in the simplest possible way.
53 * Concurrency (threads per peer)
54 * other advanced features of Bit Torrent (like DHT).
