    can i get help with this?
  • k
    hi, is it possible to load mini games on demand for my haxeflixel app (desktops)? similar to this: https://github.com/elsassph/haxe-modular
  • f
    yo is there an easy to use media player for flixel?
  • p
    If you mean video player, there's 
    hxCodec
    https://github.com/polybiusproxy/hxCodec for C++ targets and 
    openfl.media.Video
    https://api.openfl.org/openfl/media/Video.html for HTML5
  • w
    Not really without planning ahead, a ton. Since flixel games use a global FlxG to reference the game and default camera and stuff having 2 flixel games might cause problems
  • w
    But i did have a flixel game load other flixel games in my advent game. I just had certain restrictions and a wrapper class for FlxG that the minigames had to use
  • w
  • w
    But wanna stress that it was compiled together, not loaded in at runtime
  • w
    Im not sure what you're asking. I would dive deep into what functions like updateHitbox do and use traces or debugging tools to see what the actual value of offset is compared to what you're expecting
  • d
    New here, and I got (hopefully) easy questions to ask who knows flixel well. Is there such a function to transform(or distort) a sprite?(I know flxskew exists, but wanting more control than just skewing) If not, that's fine, just trying to see if I did miss something or if I should make a transform function anyway.
  • c
    There's nothing built in to directly modify the matrix of an 
    FlxSprite
    for skewing/whatever other transforms you're after. But the good news is it already uses one under the hood. See `FlxSprite.drawComplex()`: https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel/blob/adb24959d60ae969a08699356168abf98419fa33/flixel/FlxSprite.hx#L818 If you make a custom class, extend 
    FlxSprite
    , and overwrite 
    drawComplex()
    to do additional modifications to the 
    _matrix
    before the call to 
    camera.drawPixels()
    , you could probably get the results youre after.
  • w
    Yeah i would see what skewSprite is doing to access the matrix and make a new class extend flxsprite and manipulate the matrix in more ways
  • d
    Ah! Ok. I only ask after looking at one of the demos. FlxSkewedSprite
  • w
    But theres no existing util for stuff like this, yet. Just some under the hood capabilities
  • t
    > AssetPaths is a class generated by a neat Haxe macro which builds its variables from the contents of your Project.xml's assets tag. How exactly does 
    AssetsPath
    depend on the contents of Project.xml? Just wondering...
  • w
    Soon im thinking about making the sprite part of flxsprites more modular, maybe i should expose the matrix then
  • w
    It does not
  • w
    It depends on the contents of the target folder
  • w
    I have a prototype for a new type of AssetPaths that uses the manifest created by the Project xml
  • t
    alr 👍
  • t
    ah cool
  • d
    Already looking at the flxskewsprite as it imports flxshape.(and other imports, but that got my attention)
  • d
    Thank you again! I now know what nonsense I'll make and test.
  • k
    Thank you for your help.
  • l
    erm what the scallop
  • s
    have you included addons on your project.xml
  • s
    also that's vscode, you have to open the root folder of the project for code completion
  • s
    else nothing will be recognized
  • l
    good point
