    Ah yes, a lot of things. Feel free to ask if you wonder about one of these specifically
  • f
    Is there a way to change the color of particular pixels on a visual? I want to be able to do a palette swap on multiple colors in a pixel art sprite.
  • f
    I noticed the tinting example where you tinted both the main color and the darkColor values?
  • f
    In my phaser code at runtime I had to iterate over the textures used to draw my sprites and recolor the pixels, then add the colored versions into the phaser asset cache to switch between them, but I would much prefer to do this in a better way.
  • b
    Several ways of doing that: - You can fetch pixels of a texture and edit the data manually (the 
    Pixels
    class has a bunch of helpers that can be useful for that), and then you submit the pixels again to the texture - You can use a shader to change pixels via GPU. Yes the dual tint is allowing to tint dark colors with a different color than light colors, the ceramic demo project has some code that does that indeed
  • f
    oh i did something just like that, but not for pixel art
  • f
    uncolored

    SpriteSheet
    or 
    Spritesheet
    ? 🤔
  • f
    don't we already have 
    TextureAtlas
    ?
  • b
    Not the same thing
  • b
    In Ceramic a sprite sheet can have animations
  • b
    an atlas is just the texture with regions
  • b
    (the 
    SpriteSheet
    class is already there in the sprite plugin btw)
  • f
    what does flixel call it?
  • b
    I don't know
  • b
    FlxSpritesheet I guess xD
  • b
    (for now I'm going with 
    SpriteSheet
    because that's already how I started)
  • f
    i would go with 
    Spritesheet
    because i think of it as one word

    Hello! Quick question. Does Ceramic assume always the existence of a Project.hx file and invoke its new constructor? That is, the point of entry is always a file class named Project.hx, right? Does this have to be an entity as well? Or can this be something else (i.e. another name or not inherit from Entity) that invoke a constructor to an entity? Not that I plan to do this, but I'd like to understand the general flow for init a game from the start...
  • a
    it does look like that, yeah
  • a
    haxe apps need a defined entry point
  • a
    Project.hx looks like that for ceramic
  • f
    Anyone know how I would debug a ceramic application? Like can I debug it with breakpoints using vshaxe or can the web target be debugged with the electron chrome debug console?
  • f
    i just make extensive use of log functions
  • b
    You can use chrome debug yes, from within vscode, when you use web target
  • b
    I never used hxcpp debugger on native targets. Instead I debug using xcode directly (on mac) or visual studio (on windows)
  • b
    Yes, Project.hx is the entry point of ceramic and is expected to be there by Ceramic
  • b
    The « real » main is located in the backend and not exposed directly because that’s backend/platform specific
  • f
    Do all assets get added to memory from the assets directory at startup?
  • f
    Btw, the vscode debugging worked after I figured out I needed the --debug variant enabled.
