Coding For Game

This page will show you about coding stuff in this engine

How to add thing?

Create a data folder in the mods/<your game>/data and this is where the game could read stuff!, create a file with extension name .hxs and this is where you can code for now!

Examples

Create Text

function onCreate()
{
    var text = new FlxText(0, 0, 0, "Hello World", 32);
    text.screenCenter();
    add(text);
}

Updated Text

var text:FlxText;

function onCreate()
{
    text = new FlxText(0, 0, 0, "You not press SPACE", 32);
    text.screenCenter();
    add(text);
}

function onUpdate(elapsed:Float)
{
    if (FlxG.keys.pressed.SPACE)
        text.text = "You press SPACE";
    else
        text.text = "You not press SPACE";
}

Load Images

function onCreate()
{
    var images = new FlxSprite(0, 0, Paths.image("imagesName"));
    images.screenCenter();
    add(images); 
} 

Making a Group

var group:Dynamic;

function onCreate()
{
    group = createTypedGroup(group);
    add(group);

    for (i in 0...5)
    {
        var spr:FlxSprite = new FlxSprite(20 + (i * 10), FlxG.width / 2);
        spr.makeGraphic(10, 10, FlxColor.fromRGB(FlxG.random.int(0, 255), FlxG.random.int(0, 255), FlxG.random.int(0, 255)));
        group.add(spr);
    }
}

Switch State (Only v1.3 and above work)

// file on data/main.hxs and are loaded by PlayState
function onCreate() {
    var text:FlxText = new FlxText(0, 0, 0, "Press ENTER to Switch to State 01", 32);
    text.screenCenter(0x00);
    add(text);
}

function onUpdate(elapsed:Float) {
    if (FlxG.keys.justPressed.ENTER) {
        FlxG.switchState(new ScriptedState("main2"));
    }
}

// file on data/classes/main2.hxs
function onCreate() {
    var text:FlxText = new FlxText(0, 0, 0, "Press ENTER to Switch to State 00", 32);
    text.screenCenter(0x00);
    add(text);
}

function onUpdate(elapsed:Float) {
    if (FlxG.keys.justPressed.ENTER) {
        FlxG.switchState(new PlayState());
    }
}

Some Function can be used

• onCreate and onCreatePost are using for load a newly game
• onUpdate and onUpdatePost are using for update the game every second
• onDestroy are using for when destroy
• stopScript destroys the current script
• importClass is like import in normal Haxe
  • Example: importClass('package.Class');
  • On v2.0: This importClass function will be removed, you can actual using import!:
    • Exmaple: import flixel.FlxSprite;
• importScript allows access to a script's variables and functions
  • Example: var otherScript = importScript('path.to.script');
  • Also, don't worry about ., it will be autocorrected to /
• addScript adds a new script and runs it
  • Example: addScript('path/to/script');
• trace is like trace in normal Haxe

Config (GameHandler) Functions

• exitGame(Bool) - If Bool false, returns to game selection. Otherwise, actually exits the game.
• reziseApp(w, h) - Resizes the game window. w and h should both be integers!
