@Skudoku Haxe is multitarget language so common types should be available on the all platforms. So it depends on platform(s) you are targeting. For example if you are targeting js – there is no byte type here, only Number. It can't be helped in haxe. For targets with byte type like cpp, cs and java you can look for Int8 in the appropriate package i.e. cs.Int8 for c#.
I may be wrong but i think so.
public interface SomethingPipe<T> where T : Something how does one go about making this in Haxe.
Couldnt come up with the term that is type parameter
hey guys did anyone already implement externs for react-native-iap or something alike to handle in app purchases in haxe react? I looked through haxe-react group but found only externs for some outdated libs that were last updated 6-7 years ago. so I wonder, perhaps you have something but forgot to share it?
Hi! I'm quite new to haxe, I can't figure out how to set an enum as a method parameter type. My enum: 'SomeEnum<A,B,C>' I thought I could do: 'function methodName(i: SomeEnum)' then I tried: 'function methodName(i:SomeEnum<A,B,C>)'. In https://haxe.org/manual/types-enum-using.html they write 'getColor():Color' where the enum Color is a return type.
Thanks for the snip, it works. About the use case: I have a member variable that in the constructor is set to be some type. Later a method is invoked that run a switch casing on the type of enum, e.g.(X,Y or Z) and returning an enumvalue of some type. Next we call a method with this enumvalue as a parameter. But you're right, the type safety is getting weaker and I think I will constrain it using abtract types as they do here https://code.haxe.org/category/other/passing-different-types-to-a-function-parameter.html (near the end of the page).
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)
