From nme-tilelayer to openfl-tilelayer

From nme-tilelayer to openfl-tilelayer

This project is an openfl version of nme-tilelayer. The point of this project is to offer the same functionality that nme-tilelayer has but make it compatible with Haxe 3 and openfl.

Openfl-tilelayer is lightweight and very optimized wrapper over openfl’s powerful but lowlevel ‘drawTiles’ which offers the best rendering performance 

(ie. batching) on native platforms.

I welcome anyone to fork project and help imporve. I was not the original author of the code so name spaces and current code is pretty much a representation of the previous version. The current project was just to get to a point of compilation and working code with openfl and Haxe 3. I’m 100% sure there are bugs and more work needs to be done.

Also please feel free to improve on the Readme file. I’m sure some of the previous info will become outdated as we work on this.

skialbainn:

Joshua has released a blog post on how to replace an OpenFL backend, going as far as creating a simple HTML5 alternative, <div> as Sprites, <canvas> as Graphic objects and more.

Also Philippe has recently added OpenFL support to Flashdevelop, proj.nmml is handled as NME andproj.xml as OpenFL.

Erica McCowan has written Haxe Extension Test to demonstrate the ability of Haxe to use native code extensions in order to fully integrate with the target platform. Includes examples for Android, iOs, Mac and Windows.

Silex Labs has started releasing wwx2013 videos, Cocktail for game UI’s, OpenFL Announcement and Macro’s : A lot has changed in Haxe 3 and What is Haxe?.

Lars Doucet has written a excellent article called BazaarBot: An Open-Source Economics Engine.

Alexander has successfully compiled an old NME project to Emscripten without any code changes with OpenFL. Be patient though, its 17mb.
