Everything about Flash

I am proud to announce the release of Ember.hx, a library that enables ember.js programming via Haxe.

In this post we’ll use my RunnerMark lib to benchmark the rendering performance of the various Stage3D 2D Engines, and compare them to renderMode=GPU and HaxeNME.

NME is an impressive crossplatform technology particularly appropriate for 2D games development. And by crossplatform that mean:
Windows/Mac/Linux and iOS/Android/webOS – at full, native, C++/OpenGl speed,
and Flash so you can also compile it for the browser.

// Yeah, I'm sure that for some of you, this is old news. It's not for me, never heard of NME before today. all thanks to this guy http://zehfernando.com/2011/a-mobile-air-application-post-mortem/#comment-4578 //

I recently converted a codebase of about 5000 lines from ActionScript 3 to Haxe. Here's what I learned.

In Haxe, nearly everything is an expression. (Things that aren't: import statement, class declaration etc, which are at module level).

Further gamedev haxe/nme vs air 3.2 findings.

Currently the Java target is not yet officially supported so most features are still in production but you can certainly try it out if your feeling adventurous. So after installing haxe normally you will need to update your 'haxe' file and 'std' directory with code from the svn and make it or if your on a PC you can normally patch your haxe version using a Nightly but if not...

It seems Flash Toony prototype is getting quite an interest because some days after the iPhone port made with Corona SDK, it’s the time for Julian Liebl from Nortlight Games to show us the Haxe port of the prototype.
