Midnight Musings #12

Posted by MSGhero - March 29th, 2014


Busy as an overworked bee.  Class + tutoring + research + dota2 (priorities, right?) = little time to do things.  The recent version of my code editor is bugged and I had to find and reinstall an older version.  UI coding is still the most boring and tedious thing.  Progress moving slowly.  Once I get at least Juggernaut 2 finished, I'm gonna work on a drag n drop menu editor that literally writes the code for the UI.  Graphically moving text and buttons would be a thousand times more interesting than moving them with code, compiling, checking if it looks good, moving them again...


I recently started messing around with haxe more and using haxeflixel.  I actually had to edit their code and make additions for something that I think is extremely useful.  Once I finalize a few cleanups in the code, then it's done.  My stupid code will forever be immortalized on github for all of humanity to make use of.


I just checked, and I have about 200k views total on my stuff which is cool.  Poop joke parodies apparently get lots of views, and being on the front page of NG doesn't hurt either.  I can't accurately grasp how many people that is, I guess it's a lot but not too many?  I mean it's not that big of a deal either way, it's just interesting that my crap has been clicked a few hundred thousand times.

that UI editor idea sounds pretty spiffy!

How is Haxe? I've been meaning to jump into it.

Also, 200k views is a ton! That's like inviting 200k + people into your living room. Thats awesome! :D

Haxe and openfl are a bit of a pain to set up and can be a huge pain to update if they break things. Haxe is stable in that regard, openfl is mostly, but the flixel library I use isn't. The language is great and exporting to every platform is one of the coolest things ever.
