1. Install reactive-banana and read its docs and Apfelmus' intro (i).

2. Write a simple, 80s-style game using it.

3. Write a short tutorial explaining it.

4. ???

5. Profit.

The following brief tutorial does not fit your criteria, but you might be interested in it anyway, as it is geared towards making games using FRP:

Thanks.

I might actually do that if I have time during the semester.

But I'm innately lazy and would love to have it done for me :P.

Besides, since I'll be learning how to use FRP, anything I write about it will be as a beginner with no experience. That said, a project like that would actually be perfect for the blog I keep meaning to start :)

The closest thing I could find to a tutorial (besides Apfelmus' posts) is this:

No time to check it in detail now, but at first sight it doesn't seem tutorial-ish enough.

If you're interested in doing something on the lines of the above, I'll do it with you. I'll drop you an email.

My conclusion until now is, that FRP can look beautiful and expressive for manageable, simple problems, and ugly and hairy for complicated stuff.

These two are quite nice, the first one is the base of the second one:
