News and Articles

This week has seen two big releases.

HaxeFlixel 4.0.0 has finally been released and snõw has progressed to alpha-2.0 , with a large architectural change.

JeriX has created svipt, a command line tool that “takes svg file as an input to prepare app icon files for different platforms”. I could see other frameworks including this in their build processes.

Sven Bergström has started yet another project, to document HXCPP! The HXCPP guide has only just been created, but it’s already got a lot of valuable information in it. Keep an eye on the issues, as Lars Doucet has written down all his HXCPP CFFI knowledge which he used to get the SteamWrap library working.

Haxe is the target for a recently announced open source project jtransc, which was announced on the mailing list. It converts kotlin by Jetbrains using to generate Haxe code. Nuts.

Sidenote. I was surprised and impressed by the HaxeFlixel teams openness and transparency when it comes to their finances.
