openfl VS haxe

Which is not an emulator, but more of a spiritual successor, following the same API, and with tools to convert Actionscript projects

The game was written in Haxe (the language) and OpenFL (the engine).

Ever looked at OpenFL?

https://www.openfl.org/

Couple notable games haves used it. Haxe is a pretty mature ecosystem as well, from what I’ve heard.

I spent my thirties working and unwinding with flash games with my kids, brings back nostalgia thinking about those nights.

I'm interested in updating Bosca Ceoil! But I can't really promise anything - it depends on an old actionscript music library called SiON , which makes this very difficult. Because the tool is open source, I've been looking into porting this library to haxe, which is slowly making progress: https://github.com/openfl/openfl/pull/2515

You should consider https://www.openfl.org/ instead. OpenFl provides all the flash apis and has been battle tested. Your flash product can be ported to use Haxe + OpenFL without much effort and can then be used as a desktop app or HTML5/JS based game.

Dicey Dungeons is created with Haxe, using my own framework, which is an extension on top of OpenFL and HaxeStarling

Heaps has it's own API, but other Haxe frameworks[1][2] reimplement the flash API. Some tools[3][4] help to convert AS3 source code to Haxe, and the typing and compiler are helpful to fix identify issues, so depending on the size and dependencies, conversion can be easy once you get past the main language differences.

This remineds me of Haxe[1]. I like Wax better because of the Common-Lisp-like syntax.

I thought this was a three.js demo but it's actually built with a language called haxe [1]. I've never heard of this language before and looks really cool. Makes me want to play with it!

The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value.

"Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode."

It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by: Nortgard, Dead Cells, Papers Please, ... .

For those interested in cross platform game development, don't forget https://haxe.org/! The usefulness / popularity ratio is very high on this one :).

Sounds like haxe: https://haxe.org/

I really enjoyed programming in AS3, and https://haxe.org/ was really helpful at the time to make development easier.

Been tinkering in the Haxe programming language recently. I definitely suggest checking it out, but one thing I liked was private constants. I know other languages have this, but its where I've encountered it most recently.
