Matthew Wallace recently made the jump, installing Haxe 3 RC2 on OSX, which broke the haxe and nme commands and figured out the solution.

Amit Patel has written an incredibly detailed guide to hex grids. All the “core algorithms and data structures are in Haxe and compiled down to Javascript”.

Andreas Rønning seems to always get a decent conversation going, this time with his “primary AS3 itches that make [him] run screaming for Haxe”.

He has also released “a few random github updates, all haxelib compatible”, Simple Signal a generic Haxe signal implementation, SLF4HX a port of his AS3 logging framework and MessagingHX a basic global messaging / event dispatch library.

The Haxe RC2 seems to have silently been released. You can check changes.txt for the newness.

But the biggest change is that the haxelib reset has taken place, but no one should have really noticed as Jason and Juraj have done an awesome job making the change seamless.

Chrome packaged apps recently came out of developer preview, so Tong has already written type definitions for Haxe.

Porter has written his “first article in [his] learning HaxePunk series”.

And I’ll finish with a crazy game called MOSHIMOSHI created with HaxeFlixel. Checkout the gameplay video by Eurogamer to see what it’s about.

Now, I think this is pretty awesome. Eugene Veretennikov, creator of Protohx has recorded his network demo working seamlessly across HTML5, Linux, Android, Flash, Neko and NodeJS.

So we have an in-progress Objective-C target, talk of a python target, a possible Lua target, and now we have an in-progress Rust target. Rust “is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language” by Mozilla.

WWX13, the third annual Haxe Developer meetup has been announced, taking place on May 24th-27th in Paris.

The organisers are looking for speakers. Anything Haxe related is welcome, from beginner friendly topics to the most hardocre topics, just email your proposals to contact [at] haxe [dot] org listing :

your talk title
a short description
and a short bio

Or if you want to hear about a specific topic or from a specific developer, make some noise over at the mailing list.

Jozef Chutka has been busy this week, publishing three posts, the first, second and third detailing his progress setting up Haxe, Echlix and the Samsung TV SDK, then integrating munit and MMVC into the project.

Vadim has created an improved and findable Haxe SVG logo. Thank you!

If your using Haxe NME, then checkout the “fast way for per pixel bitmap manipulation” using nme.Memory which supports both Flash and CPP targets.

Tong’s done it again, this time creating Haxe sys bindings to inotify. It allows you to “simply monitor various events on files” to handle automatic uploads, guard critical files or just get file statistics. I have an idea for the next project, bindings to libuv.

The guys from Qwok Games have written about Going Native stating how they “picked the right toolset” and how it came through for them.

Apparently a small experiment, Franco Ponticelli has created livehaxe, an “automatic compiler for Haxe and other tools”, it “monitors the files in your project and regens the output whenever it detects a change.” Very cool.

Maybe it could become part of the new haxelib that’s under development, maybe as a haxelib watch command?

Andy Li has written another excellent post on getting “automated unit testing for Haxe projects” working with Travis-CI.

“Hello, I’m a popcorn fractal…” by Nicolas Barradeau using NME, exported to HTML5. Watch popcorn.

Adrian has Pole Vaultage “merrily hum along on Android. There’s no second player and jump control is easier (frustration level below 9000)”. Watch over on youtube.

This looks crazy, NME WorldBuilder the “ultimate tool for making crossplatform games” and with a huge feature list. ~~While NME looks down~~, checkout the youtube video for 14 minutes of Nape goodness.

Theres one more NME UI framework to add to the list, Zajac which provides the “ability for styling over CSS”, supported targets are CPP, Neko and Flash and its been tested on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows and Flash.

StablexUI, one of the first? NME UI frameworks, is now able to create loops in xml. Also a new sample game has been released, Ladybird, where all the objects are StablexUI widgets.

This is bound to be useful, protohx a “crossplatform implementation of Google’s Protocol Buffers” has been released on haxelib.
