Haxe Roundup 172

A new game made for Nickelodeon called Fairly Odd Parents - Scary God Parents which was created with Flambe by Team Cooper. They have also done a small write up about the project.

Dan has written “a little article on a cool feature” that he discovered in the latest Haxe build, Fake Enums.

Last week the OpenFL team announced premium accounts, well, they also announced the OpenFL marketplace. I just missed it.

How about a native OpenFL extension which allows you take photo’s and record audio? Josu Igoa has released CameraMic to github.

The git version of Tora seems to have received an update that will allow it to work with/through? any fcgi capable server. So its no longer reliant on Apache. Tora is used at Motion-Twins for most, if not all, their games, so it is very efficient.

Do you remember back in issue #169 that a experimental Dart target was created with no ocaml? It turns out Heinz is working on an experimental Python target using the same method. It currently only produces Python 3+, but it’s still brilliant to see, I think, an easier way to create new targets.

Nicolas has released a new product, CastleDB - the structured static database. Unfortunately it currently needs Haxe 3.2 which is a nightly build. Even though it’s created with Haxe, it’s a standalone application using NodeJS and Webkit, storing data in JSON using the extension cdb . It only needs a v3.2 build for the Haxe integration.

And speaking of currently unavailable Haxe builds, Haxe 3.1.0 unstable should be available in a few weeks.
