    mostly working now 😄
  • f
    I still don't have a sprite displaying but I spend some time this past week porting my phaser game library core into ceramic. It's not much but I've got my command system incrementing an x value. 🙃
  • f
    Haxe and Typescript are just different enough syntax-wise for it to be annoying to figure out what the Haxe way of doing things is.
  • b
    Yay! Yes the migration could be annoying. But so far I really enjoy Haxe, and there are actually various Typescript things that do annoy me too because it inherits too much from js
  • a
    hmm, i'm a bit confused
  • a
    How does one use a 
    filter
  • a
    looking through the visualcontainerview
  • a
    you use 
    .content
    which would make me think I add content here
  • a
    but the api says it is meant to be read only 🤔
  • a
    ahhh i think i got it
  • b
    Well, @ambitious-knife-25690, at some point™️ there will be a doc page about it
  • b
    But the gist of it is: a 
    Filter
    is a quad that displays via a render texture what is contained in its 
    content

    copy and paste entire discord conversations and call that your documentation

    @billowy-waiter-28954so i can get a 1 level deep filter working like below
  • a
    my issue is trying to add a second filter to the hierarchy
  • a
    what do i add 
    filter2
    to? 
    filter1.content
    or 
    filter
    , i've tried both and can't seem to get it to render
  • t
    is that electron 👀 ??
  • a
    it is!
  • t
    woah, TIL that you can do electron with haxe
  • a
    sure, you can go pure electron if you wanted but this is just running standalone
  • a
    if a library supports js, you can run it on electron
  • t
    oh cool
  • b
    You always add what needs to be displayed by a filter into 
    content
  • a
    so do i understand this correctly, if a filter is required one should never add a child to a visual that needs to be displayed on a filter?
  • a
    so instead of doing 
    visual.add(child)
    you'd do 
    filter_for_visual.content.add(child)
  • b
    yes
  • a
    huh, this may be accommodatable via the ceramic api. Not sure if you think it's a good design but having a 
    filter
    property on a visual and when calling 
    add
    on said visual would just check if 
    filter
    is 
    null
    or not
  • b
    Create some extendedAdd() method that check if there is a filter yeah, but don’t override original add() for that
  • a
    splitter now works 😄
  • a
    the artifacting is from the gif recording
