If I understand your question correctly I believe you just have to target your main module with: haxe --main Main --interp, you can add many more arguments(see https://haxe.org/manual/compiler-usage.html). It might be easier if you use hxml files https://haxe.org/manual/compiler-usage-hxml.html else take a look at the Hello World example https://haxe.org/manual/introduction-hello-world.html
Does anyone know if you can supply arguments to --run in a hxml file? I tried many variations of guesses but I just can't get it working. Example: --run RunTests -arg argval. Errormsg: Could not process argument RunTests -arg argval

Works fine if I run it as a cmd<command>

Hi all, what's the best workflow now in haxe for smooth vectors across platforms? I had a look at Kha and it doesn't do antialiased vectors (yet). OpenFL is a possibility, but it's huge, if I wanted to share code say between a js svg canvas target and a hxcpp linux app I could render frames from what shoudl I be looking at?
Or even not cross platform, I'd be interested in a good way to draw smooth vectors in the hxcpp target full stop.
I don’t think openfl is huge itself especially with -dce=full. I believe heaviest part is lime which contains a lot of static linked native libraries. If size of resulting application is the point I guess it is possible to rebuild lime without unnecessary libraries. Recent openfl version has moved towards separated js backend in replacement of lime while targeting html5. Don’t know it’s current state but it should be more compact than lime version.
yes I suppose that wasn't fair, I've worked with it in the past and have been playing with it again today. I've run into some issues with it though in terms of smooth motion using the graphics api. even with StageQuality.BEST and a high fps it gives some jittery results that I think are to do with it rounding float x and y to ints by the looks of it.
I want to try this https://github.com/RobDangerous/nanovg with kha now just looking at how to do it
Nme has hardware (triangulated) vectors graphics. It has AA on lines, but not solids - you can use multi-sampling AA to get some smoothing on solids, draw a line border or use alpha textures to cover most bases, or you can use software rendering (cacheAsBitmap) for good quality AA on everything. Depends on what exactly you are going for, and how interactive you want it.

Yep, nme is still alive, you can see it in the official repo. I think the differences are:
Openfl:
– lime with all low-level features extracted to separate project;
– pure js backend for html target instead of lime;
– there are a lot of refactorings towards OOP-like style (which pretty often introduces some bugs);
– development is slowed down recently.
NME is staying focused on core functional and keeps toolchains more up to date. (For example, lime is still stuck with NDK r15, more recent NDKs replaced gcc with clang).
Hugh is the author of NME and hxcpp.
@hughsando sorry if I missed something important, I have some dependencies on rendering pipeline refactorings in openfl in my codebase so I hadn’t have tried NME quite for a while.

Yes, that is pretty accurate. Beside architectural differences in code organization, the main difference relevant here is the vector rendering. IIRC, openfl uses Cairo for vectors, and I'm not sure how these get to the screen whereas NME has a vector engine specifically designed for hardware acceleration.
Nme is alive and well but less visible due to a smaller community. The best place to ask questions is on the haxe discord.
I was thinking there may have been some new stuff in the haxe world for drawing but I guess that is what Kha + nanovg will be (couldn't get that working yet though)
Hi! I've been trying to get HaxePunk working on macOS and seem to keep running into odd errors which I can't understand. I can paste the errors, if you'd like.
If there's a better place to ask regarding HaxePunk, let me know. I already patched for the OpenFL API changes.
this means you cannot get argument meta from
extern functions
(unless you intercept them in a build macro and get it from the untyped AST)
I would ask around at the Discord channel (https://discord.com/invite/0uEuWH3spjck73Lo) or add a listing to the Haxe roundup (haxe.io). you should probably also add a bit of context what is it that you need done.
All the people i know from back in the day who did flash stuff just like me were mostly independent some tried to jump onto mobile development, but I can’t think of anyone who “made it” and I think most of them now got a normal software developer job like me xD.

@m_a_j_ch_rz_a_k_twitter i made you a tiny bit of setup for tink_web and tink_sql -> https://github.com/postite/miniTinkWeb
Do you have any performance benchmarks for Haxe web servers?
is that possible to override a function with different signature? I want something like this:
class OuterUserApi extends BaseUserApi {
override public function getUser(session:{uid:Int, isAdmin:Bool})
return super.getUser(session.uid);
}
class BaseUserApi {
public function getUser(uid:Int)
return db.User.select(...).where(User.id == id);
}
