0.12.1 (2018-03-02)

New features

  • This is a minor update that adds support for the Neko target. Neko is a lightweight virtual machine that behaves very like Native builds, but compiles much faster, so it can be useful for testing. It's included with the default installation of Haxe. If you're interested in Neko builds, you'll need to update your blankproject.zip file again!

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Updated Starling to 2.2.1.

0.12.0 (2018-02-28)

Migrating to 0.12.0 from older versions of Haxegon

This update was focused on making some final calls about the structure of the library. From here on out, you can expect Haxegon's API to stay pretty stable!

Here are the main things you'll need to change to migrate to 0.12.0:

  • Download the new blankproject.zip file, and copy your project source and data files into the new folder. This should hopefully be the last time the project file changes. Make sure you have a plugin/ folder after you do this!
  • Text.align is now a variable instead of a function, so change Text.align(Text.CENTER) to Text.align = Text.CENTER.
  • The offset parameter of Music.play() and Sound.play() has been moved, so you should check that you have the parameters in the right order.

New features

  • Haxegon now supports a plugin system, inspired by OpenFrameworks! Plugins allow you to expand the funtionality of Haxegon. There are three available right now (keep an eye on http://www.haxegon.com/plugins/ for an up to date list.) The three initial plugins:

    • Layers: A simplified display list.
    • Filters: A fullscreen post-processing shader plugin.
    • imGui: A simple imgui library.

  • The blankproject.zip file has been updated again, hopefully for the last time! Updating blankproject.zip to the latest version is required to support plugins.

  • Haxegon is now an organisation on github! See http://github.com/haxegon/ for all related Haxegon plugins and projects.

  • Haxegon is now licenced under the MIT licence.

  • Haxegon now uses .mp3 files for all browsers in HTML5. .ogg files are no longer required for HTML builds (though they're still required for Native builds for the time being). Alternatively, .wav files work on all platforms.

  • Haxegon can now read JSON and XML files! They're loaded from the data/text/ directory, same as TXT and CSV files. Check out the new JSON and XML parsing to see how to parse them.

  • Text.align is now a variable instead of a function. Instead of Text.align(Text.CENTER), you type Text.align = Text.CENTER. (This means it's now possible to check the current Text alignment.)

  • You can read all inputted keys from the new Text.inputbuffer String. This is basically a low level version of the Text.input() system for if you want to do something fancy.

  • Removed Gfx.keeppixelratio. As a replacement, Gfx.resizescreen(w, h) has been changed to Gfx.resizescreen(w, h[, keeppixelratio]).

  • Added Gfx.onwindowresized(), which is true when the window has been resized this frame.

  • Haxegon's random number generator has been replaced with an implementation of Xorshift, which should mean that it gives better results than the old system, and gives predictible results for any given seed on every target platform.

  • You can now use string based seeds for Random.seed, in addition to numbers. e.g. Random.seed = "winter", Random.seed = 1234; both work.

  • Added a new function, Random.weighted([options], [odds]) - inspired by chance.js.

  • Removed offsettime as a variable from Sound and Music functions.

  • Added volume as a parameter to Sound.play().

  • Added all previous haxe Math function to Geom. They're exactly the same, except they use degrees instead of radians. Haxegon now uses degrees everywhere. (e.g. You can call Geom.sin() instead of Math.sin())

  • The Filters class has been removed. Filters is now a plugin, and has several new settings: https://github.com/haxegon/plugin_filters

  • Added Core.version.

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed a bug where Convert.toint() could give an incorrect value for large negative numbers.
  • Fixed a situational crash bug with changing Gfx.drawto() targets in update() functions.
  • Fixed a crash bug where Haxegon would crash on some platforms if Gfx.drawimage() or Gfx.drawtile() draw an image or tile that doesn't exist.
  • Fixed a bug with Gfx.linethickness.
  • Fixed a crash bug on HTML5 when trying to display arrays with Text.display().
  • Haxegon now releases all keypresses when it loses focus (thanks @randomnine)
  • Removed the old Ctrl + Click behavior for Flash to simulate a right click.
  • Haxegon uses "top left" as the default pivot point for all scales and rotations now.
  • Removed Scene.get(). It encouraged bad behaviour that probably doesn't reliably work anyway (i.e. non static scene classes).
  • Removed Scene.name. (same reason)

0.11.1 (2018-01-17)

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • This is a minor bugfix release for yesterday's big update.
  • Updated to work correctly with the newest versions of OpenFL and Lime (OpenFL 7.0 and Lime 6.0.1).
  • Fixed Debug.log() not displaying if you don't have a render function.
  • Fixed a crash bug if you changed drawing surfaces in Main.init() AFTER resizing the screen.
  • Fixed a bug where the wrong screensize was getting reported in Main.init() on HTML5. (thanks, @TheSpydog)

0.11.0 (2018-01-16)

New features

  • This is the biggest update to Haxegon in more than a year! This update will probably break compatibility with your older haxegon projects. I recommend starting over with a new [blankproject.zip] folder, and transferring your assets and source code across. The main things to watch out for are the new data/ folder structure, and changes to Music/Sound.
  • Haxegon has been updated to work with OpenFL 7.0 and Starling 2.0.
  • The project structure has changed. There is a new project.xml file for haxegon projects, and a data/ folder with a new, flatter, simpler layout. Grab the new [blankproject.zip] file to get started. The data folder inside contains a guide for adding assets to your haxegon project.
  • Gfx.resizescreen(width, height) has had an upgrade, and is now a lot more flexible. The following settings are now possible:
  //Create a 640x360 pixel screen, which is streched and letterboxed to the current window.
  Gfx.resizescreen(640, 360);

  //Create a screen which MATCHES the current window size. When the window size changes,
  //update Gfx.screenwidth and Gfx.screenheight to the new values.
  Gfx.resizescreen(0, 0);

  //Create a dynamic screen of height 360, but with a floating width that matches the scale
  //of the current window and updates Gfx.screenwidth to match:
  Gfx.resizescreen(0, 360);

  //Create a dynamic screen of width 640, but with a floating height that matches the scale
  //of the current window and updates Gfx.screenheight to match:
  Gfx.resizescreen(640, 0);
  • Setting Gfx.keeppixelratio to true tells haxegon to keep a 1:1 pixel ratio when stretching the screen to fit a window, even if this creates black bars on all sides. Possibly good for very low resolution games!
  • Text.input() is now a little simplier:
  if(Text.input(x, y)){
    trace(Text.inputresult);
  }
  • Added support for .wav files.
  • There's a brand new music engine in Haxegon rewritten from scratch. It's now possible to crossfade music, layer multiple looping sounds, control the panning of each sound, as well as lots of other cool complex stuff that wasn't possible before.
  //Play an explosion sound effect.
  Sound.play("explosion");

  //Stop all sound effects:
  Sound.stop();

  //Stop only the "explosion" sound effects, and fade them out over 0.2 seconds:
  Sound.stop("explosion", 0.2);

  //Play the "backgroundtheme".
  Music.play("backgroundtheme");

  //Play the "backgroundtheme", but fade in over 3 seconds.
  Music.play("backgroundtheme", 0, 3.0);

  //Stop the music, fading out over 3 seconds.
  Music.stop(3);

  //Set the position of the current song to 15 and a half seconds in:
  Music.currentposition = 15.5;
  • Replaced Data.blank2darray(w, h) with Data.create2darray(w, h, defaultvalue), and made the function work correctly for all types - Ints, Strings, Bools, custom classes, whatever.
  • Added Scene.restart(Myscene), which discards and reloads a named scene.

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • The default window size has been changed to a 720p friendly 1280x720.
  • On native platforms, on dual Nvidia/Intel devices, Haxegon will now use your Nvidia card instead of your integrated intel one.
  • Removed Core extension functions. They still exist, but now require @:access(haxegon.Core) at the start of your class to discourage unnecessary use.
  • Haxegon now works correctly on high dpi devices.
  • Filter.blur is now a Float instead of a Bool, and supports different degrees of bluriness.
  • Speed improvements to Gfx.getpixel().
  • Re-added Text.setfont(font, size) to allow you to change font and size at the same time.
  • Right click context menu is disabled in HTML5.
  • Added an Input.getkeyfromcharacter() function as a reverse of Input.getchar().
  • Text.typingsound lets you associate a sound effect with typing.
  • Fixed alignment on text rotations.
  • Lots and lots of other long running tiny bugs fixed.

0.10.0 (2017-08-26)

New features

  • This is mostly just a compatibility update for OpenFL 6.0. Haxegon now works with the latest versions of OpenFL and Lime.
  • Added support for Key.ANY. (Thanks to @nachoverdon for the suggestion!):
  if(Input.pressed(Key.ANY)) // True if ANY key is being pressed right now
  if(Input.justpressed(Key.ANY)) // True if ANY key has just been pressed
  • Changed Gfx.imagealpha and Gfx.imagecolor to variables instead of functions. Also added three new shortcut functions to reset image drawing settings - Gfx.resetalpha(), Gfx.resetcolor() and Gfx.reset():
  Gfx.imagealpha = 0.5;
  Gfx.imagecolor = Col.GREEN;
  Gfx.drawimage(x, y, "someimage");

  Gfx.resetalpha(); //Same as calling Gfx.imagealpha = 1
  Gfx.resetcolor(); //Same as calling Gfx.imagecolor = Col.WHITE
  Gfx.reset();      //Resets colour, alpha, rotation and scale
  • Added an optional alpha parameter to Text.display(). (Thanks to @nachoverdon for the suggestion!)
  Text.display(x, y, "spooky see through text", Col.WHITE, 0.5);

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Removed deprecated startfullscreen setting from blankproject.zip.
  • Documentation updates.

0.9.1 (2017-07-16)

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed a crash bug with drawing too many circles or hexagons to the screen in one frame.
  • Fixed Random.chance(0) having a very low change of occasionally being true (thanks @randomnine!)

0.9.0 (2017-06-02)

New features

  • Added a new simple example to the haxegon-samples repo: Filters.
  • Added support for simple fullscreen filters. Currently just bloom and blur, but more coming soon!
  Filter.bloom = 1.0; // Enable bloom filter
  Filter.bloom = 2.0; // Enable really bright bloom filter
  Filter.blur = true; // Enable blur filter

  Filter.reset(); //Disable all active filters
  • Redesign of the Debug class. There's now a nicer and more useful Debug window, with the following two functions:
  Debug.log("Error!"); //Output an error to the console and the debug window
  Debug.clear(); //Clear the debug window
  • Added handy new colour shifting functions:
  //Returns a colour with the RGB components (0-255) adjusted.
  newcolour = Col.shiftred(oldcolour, amount);
  newcolour = Col.shiftgreen(oldcolour, amount);
  newcolour = Col.shiftblue(oldcolour, amount);

  //Returns a colour with the hue component (0-360) adjusted.
  newcolour = Col.shifthue(oldcolour, amount);

  //Returns a colour with the saturation or lightness (0-1.0) adjusted.
  newcolour = Col.multiplysaturation(oldcolour, amount);
  newcolour = Col.multiplylightness(oldcolour, amount);
  • Cleanup to Random.hx. Some old cluttery functions have been removed - Random.pickint(), Random.pickfloat(), Random.pickstring() (just use Random.pick()!), also Random.occasional() and Random.rare() (just use Random.chance(percentodds:Float)!).
  • Added Random.shuffle().
  var temparray:Array< String> = ["cat", "dog", "pig", "rabbit", "frog"];
  Debug.log("Original order is: " + temparray);

  Random.shuffle(temparray);
  Debug.log("After shuffling: " + temparray);

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Updated to work with the latest 5.0 versions of OpenFL and Lime.
  • Fixed smoothing issue with Gfx.drawsubimage().
  • Disabled right click on Flash target. You can press Ctrl + Left Click to simulate a right click on Flash.
  • Fixed a bug where haxegon wasn't using the fps value from project.xml. (via https://twitter.com/randomnine/)
  • Default FPS is now 60 instead of 30.
  • Internal improvements to drawing primatives. (via https://twitter.com/KommanderKlobb/)
  • Support for quadbatching on Gfx.drawhexagon(), Gfx.fillhexagon(), Gfx.drawcircle() and Gfx.fillcircle(), resulting in speed improvements on all those functions.
  • Fixed Mouse.offscreen() (via https://twitter.com/randomnine/)
  • Fixed a crash bug if you draw a circle of radius 0.
  • Fixed line thickness on Gfx.drawbox().
  • Fixed Random.seed.
  • General cleanups to the library.

0.8.0 (2017-03-10)

New features

  • Implemented Gfx.getpixel(). It's very slow right now - I'll work on speeding it up for the next version!
  • Default font has changed from Verdana to the bitmap font PC Paint Normal. This is included in the engine, and doesn't require you to include any assets.
  • Calling Gfx.clearscreen(Col.TRANSPARENT) when drawing to an image now restores the transparency of that image.
  • On Native targets, you can capture the mouse cursor by setting the values of Mouse.x and Mouse.y.
  • Implemented Mouse.offscreen().
  • Some new helper functions added to Geom (which was called Help in the last build). All Geom functions work in Radians, to be consistant with Haxe's Math class.
  //Return the smallest angle between a and b, including sign:
  var smallestangle:Float = Geom.anglebetween(a, b);

  //Clamp a value between a minimum and maximum value
  var clamptedvalue:Float = Geom.clamp(value, min, max);

  //Convert radians to degrees, and vice versa
  var rad:Float = Geom.todegrees(deg);
  var deg:Float = Geom.todegrees(rad);

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • The Help class has been renamed Geom. The renamed functions are Geom.inbox, Geom.overlap, Geom.getangle and Geom.distance.
  • Gfx.scale() can be called with no parameters to reset image scale setting (Same as Gfx.scale(1, 1)).
  • Gfx.scale() can be called with a single parameter scale x and y the same.
  • Fixed a crash when calling Text.width() on a font you haven't drawn with yet.

0.7.0 (2017-01-22)

New features

  • Added a new simple example to the haxegon-samples repo: Truetype Fonts.
  • Added Core.delaycall(f:Function, time:Float), which calls a function after a specified number of seconds. E.g.
trace("go!");
Core.delaycall(callmelater, 2.5);

function callmelater(){
  trace("two and half seconds have passed!");
}
  • Added a couple of useful helper functions in a new Help class. (Suggestions for a better class name welcome!)
  Help.inbox(x, y, rectx, recty, rectw, recth);  //True if point (x, y) is in rectangle
  Help.overlap(x1, y1, w1, h1, x2, y2, w2, h2);  //True if rectangles overlap
  Help.distance(x1, y1, x2, y2);                 //Distance in pixels between two points
  Help.getangle(x1, y1, x2, y2);                 //Angle [0-360] between two points
  Help.clamp(value, min, max);                   //Clamps a value between [min, max]
  • Added Mouse.deltax and Mouse.deltay, which return the change in mouse position since the last frame.

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Removed Mouse.previousx and Mouse.previousy.
  • Passing no arguments to Input.forcerelease() releases all keys currently being held.
  • Sped up Data.loadtext() on native targets.
  • Sped up bitmap font rendering (using starling QuadBatches).
  • Improvements to drawtile quadbatching.

0.6.0 (2017-01-21)

New features

  • Added a new example game to the haxegon-samples repo: Tiny Heist.
  • Haxegon now uses Starling's QuadBatches internally, which speeds up drawing of primitives in many cases, especially HTML5.
  • A number of surface drawing functions have been implemented:
  //Grab an image from the screen
  Gfx.grabimagefromscreen(imagename, screenx, screeny);

  //Grab a tile from the screen
  Gfx.grabtilefromscreen(tilesetname, tilenumber, screenx, screeny);

  //Grab an image from an image
  Gfx.grabimagefromimage(destinationimage, sourceimage, sourceimagex, sourceimagey);

  //Grab a tile from an image
  Gfx.grabtilefromimage(tilesetname, tilenumber, imagename, imagex, imagey);

  //Copy a tile from one tileset to another
  Gfx.copytile(totileset, totilenumber, fromtileset, fromtilenumber);
  • The new save functions from the last version have been moved to Save.hx. Some functions have been renamed, and some new functions have been added:
  //Loading and saving values:
  Save.savevalue(key, value);             //e.g. Save.savevalue("highscore", highscore);
  Save.loadvalue(key);                    //e.g. highscore = Save.loadvalue("highscore");
  Save.exists(key);                       //e.g. if(!Save.exists("highscore")) highscore = 0;

  //Changing or deleting the save files
  Save.fileexists(filename:String);       //Returns true if this file exists (i.e. it has at least one key saved)
  Save.filename = "mygame_slot1";         //Sets a name for your savefile (optional! default is "haxegongame".)
  Save.delete(filename:String);           //Delete a save file (leaving parameter blank deletes the default)
  • Save.keys is an array of strings containing all the saved keys for the current savefile. An example usage:
  for(i in 0 ... Save.keys.length){
    trace(Save.keys[i] + ": " + Save.loadvalue(Save.keys[i]));
  }
  • Added Core.window, for native targets only. Allows you to control parameters of the current application window. See OpenFL documentation for more information.
  • Added Core.quit(), for native targets only. Quits the application.

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed a bug where Gfx.drawtoimage() and Gfx.drawtotile() didn't work if called in Main.new().
  • Default value for Save.loadvalue(key) is always 0 - it no longer logs a warning.
  • Implemented Text.wordwrap as a variable instead of a function.
  • Fixed Core.callafterupdate(f:Function).

0.5.0 (2016-12-26)

New features

  • Native targets now work! As Haxegon now works on all of its target plaforms (HTML5, Native and Flash/AIR), I've dropped the -alpha tag from the version number. Exciting! Things are still pretty unstable and will be until 1.0.0, but the library is now at a point where it's basically useable.
  • Added new functions to Data for loading and saving key/value pairs:
  Data.save(key, value);             //e.g. Data.save("highscore", highscore);
  Data.load(key);                    //e.g. highscore = Data.load("highscore");
  Data.savefile = "mygame_slot1";    //Sets a name for your savefile (optional! default is "haxegongame".)
  Data.deletesave(filename:String);  //Delete a save file (leaving parameter blank deletes the default)

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Asset loading doesn't care about being case sensitive anymore.
  • Fixed bug where HTML5 build always displayed a fullscreen warning at startup.
  • General library cleanups.

0.4.0-alpha (2016-12-10)

New features

  • Thanks to new updates to both OpenFL and Starling, Haxegon now works on HTML5! Native targets will come later, and HTML5 should improve as time goes on. My intention is for HTML5 to eventually be the lead target.

  • Added Gfx.fullscreen boolean. Set to true or false anywhere to toggle fullscreen!

  • Gfx.resizescreen() no longer takes a scale parameter - the canvas now automatically scales to fit the current window.

  • Added two new examples to the haxegon-samples repo: Music and Sounds, and Scene Change.

  • Moved color functions from Gfx.hx to Col.hx, where they seem to make more sense:

    Col.rgb(red [0-255], green [0-255], blue [0-255]);
Col.getred(col);
Col.getgreen(col);
Col.getblue(col);

Col.hsl(hue [0-360], saturation [0-1.0], lightness [0-1.0]);
Col.gethue(col);
Col.getsaturation(col);
Col.getlightness(col);

  • Added some new string manipulation functions to S.hx:

    S.join(array, separator); //Returns a single string of the elements of array joined together
S.seperate(array, delimiter); //Returns an array of strings, split by the given delimiter.
S.asciicode(character); //Returns the ASCII value of the character.
S.fromascii(ascii code); //Converts an ascii code to a string. E.g. fromascii(65) == "A"

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • New blankproject.zip - startfullscreen has been removed from project.xml. You shouldn't need to update unless your project folder is older than 0.3. (if you want to start in fullscreen now, just set Gfx.fullscreen = true; in your Main.new() function.)
  • Fixed crash if you resized the window.
  • Fixed crash if calling drawing functions in Main.new().
  • Speed up to drawing to surfaces other than the screen.
  • Fix to .OGG loading on HTML5.
  • Cleaned up some old hashdefines, and general library cleanup. Deleted haxegon/util folder.

0.3.2-alpha (2016-11-29)

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed another bug with sound assets not loading!

0.3.1-alpha (2016-11-28)

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed a bug with sound assets not loading.

0.3.0-alpha (2016-11-27)

New features

  • Haxegon's project.xml file has changed. You'll need to grab the latest blankproject.zip file!

  • While haxegon currently can't resize its window or change to fullscreen (I'm working on it!), as a temporary workaround for now, you can make your game start in fullscreen by toggling the following line at the top of your project.xml file.

    <set name="startfullscreen" value="true" />

  • Added support for .jpg images. They're loaded the same way as .png images.

  • There are now basic library installation instructions at http://www.haxegon.com.

  • Added one new example to the haxegon-samples repo: Sky Tiles.

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Renamed S.subtractfromright() to S.removefromright(). Added S.removefromleft() too!
  • Renamed Data.loadcsv_2d to Data.load2dcsv.
  • Gfx.resizeimage() was scrapped (it was causing confusion).
  • Passing negative numbers to Text.wordwrap() outputs an error, but doesn't stop the game from running.
  • Missing assets are now handled consistently - trying to use an asset that isn't loaded will attempt to load it, and if that asset doesn't exist, the debug system will log an error on screen. (previously, missing assets would throw an exception and stop the game from running.)

0.2.0-alpha (2016-11-26)

New features

  • The library is now fully documented at http://www.haxegon.com.

  • Added three new examples to the haxegon-samples repo: Moving Hexagon, Simple Mouse Game, and Unlicensed Ball and Paddle game.

  • Text.setfont() and Text.changesize() are deprecated. To replace them, there are two new variables in Text.hx.

    Text.font = "pixel";  // Set the font to "pixel"
Text.size = 5;  // Set the font's size to 5

  • Added support for changing framerate at runtime:

    Core.fps = 30;  // Set the framerate to 30fps

  • Added Core.time, a variable that gives you a counter in seconds since the start of the game:

    Text.display(0, 0, Core.time + " seconds since game started");

  • Added some new functions to Mouse.hx:

    //These functions now match the ones in Input.hx
Mouse.leftheldpresstime(); //Returns the number of frames the left mouse button is held
Mouse.rightheldpresstime(); //Returns the number of frames the right mouse button is held
Mouse.middleheldpresstime(); //Returns the number of frames the middle mouse button is held

//This function was missing
Mouse.middledelaypressed(delay:Int); //Returns true every N frames when middle mouse button is held

  • Added a new string function, subtractfromleft(currentstring:String, length:Int = 1), because I always end up writing one:

    var example:String = "img:doge.png";
var imgfile:String = S.substractfromleft(example, 4); //imgfile is now "doge.png";

  • Added Gfx.clearcolor:Int, which replaces the older Gfx.clearscreeneachframe:Bool. You can now set the background colour to change to at the start of each frame, or set it to Col.TRANSPARENT to have a persistent background.

  • Added volume level support to Music.playsound(soundname:String, volume:Float, offset:Float);

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed a crash when drawing primitives in Main.new().
  • General library cleanup, internal functions set to private so they don't appear in autocomplete.
  • Renamed some functions in Music.hx. This is in advance of a general cleanup I'm planning for the next update. Music.play() is now Music.playsong(), Music.stop() is now Music.stopsong().
  • Renamed some variables in Mouse.hx. Mouse.oldx and Mouse.oldy are now Mouse.previousx and Mouse.previousy.
  • In Mouse.hx, Mouse.mouseoffstage() and Mouse.cursormoved() are functions instead of Booleans. (Since you can't meaningfully set thier values.)
  • Replaced Scene.getcurrentscene() with Scene.name(). Scene.getcurrentsceneclass() set to private.
  • New default font is Verdana, size 24.
  • Removed Mouse.visitsite() - it's a weird flash specific thing, and flash is a legacy target.
  • Fixed a bug where Gfx.screenwidth and Gfx.screenheight returned 0 in Main.new().
  • Fixed a crash bug if you called Text.width() without setting a font first.

0.1.0-alpha (2016-11-17)

New features

  • Haxegon folder structure has changed, to better support packed textures and make it look less scary to beginners. Fonts, Icons and graphics now all go in the data/graphics/ folder, while music and sound effects now both go in the data/sounds/ folder.

  • Support for packed textures! Simply place the xml file in the data/graphics directory. No code changes needed.

  • Images can be drawn without having to manually load them in first. They first time you draw them, they're loaded in.

  • Added two new functions to extend the core loop:

    Core.callfunctionafterupdate(f:Function)  // Name a function to be called after update() in every scene
    Core.callfunctionafterrender(f:Function)  // Name a function to be called after render() in every scene

    This was required for compatibility with my own projects!

  • Added a variable to enable/disable the Starling Stats Display, showing FPS, memory use and draw calls.

    Core.showstats = true; //Set true to display FPS and stats

  • Added two new mouse functions, the mouse equivalents of Input.delaypressed():

    Mouse.leftdelaypressed(delay:Int)  // Returns true every "delay" frames.
    Mouse.rightdelaypressed(delay:Int)  // Returns true every "delay" frames.

Bug fixes/Tweaks

  • Fixed Text.wordwrap(width).
  • Fixed Text.input() and Text.getinput().
