  • b
    what game is this?
  • f
    source code for the engine is not available
  • f
    can't say much beyond a commercial visual novel
  • b
    gotcha... top secret
  • f
    yeah I don't own the project unfortunately
  • o
    with autoSize turning on off and height and the scroll stuff you can hack textfields to get most char position you need, you may even need a render he basic idea is to get the textfield to render to get text heights etc.. I have had to hack textfield layouts since flash4. Alternative is two use two triangles per character and place them based off font metric, with starling this may not be too bad. Cairo is mostly for the c# engine so not needed on c++?
  • o
    Even had to use trace in flash to force height resolution to be calculated
  • o
    but there are hacks. kha effectively used the two triangle method, ceramic has sfg? stuff.
  • o
    signed distance fields
  • o
    so speed flash/openfl up you can render you textfields to bitmap and draw with starling quad
  • o
    unless your using swf I am not sure openfl/flixel are as ideal as say heaps, but may depend on heaps text support which not looked at properly
  • b
    i wish there were a c# engine... that would mean that c# would actually be a well supported target
  • t
    if I decide to use openfl with haxeui, am I going to spent lots of time with vanilla openfl code?
  • a
    that depends on what you're making
  • b
    also depends what you mean by "vanilla" openfl...
  • b
    technically you could write a UI in openfl (using haxeui) without touching or even really "knowing" you are using openfl
  • b
    thats a so called "universal haxeui app" that, if you dont use any openfl framework specific features, can be built using multiple backends
  • t
    uh well I think I meant, am I going to need lots of openfl knowledge if Im using haxeui?
  • b
    i wouldnt have thought so, in an empty dir, open a command prompt:
    Copy code
    haxelib run haxeui-core create openfl
lime test html5
    and thats it, universal haxeui app using openfl as a backend 🙂
  • t
    alright then, just wanna make life easier for me lol But thanks 👍

    @bright-gpu-74537 not sure what I was smoking i can't get it to look right on mac, now
  • w
    is it possible that this is a macro issue when compiling on a mac?
  • b
    i mean... maybe, but its a weird one of it is
  • b
    i compiled a haxeui-hxwidgets app the other day on osx, and it was fine
  • w
    trying to step through the code to look for clues
  • b
    but just to confirm, this is all fine in windows?
  • w
    I should double check, but yes it was yesterday
  • w
    i thought it worked for mac yesterday, and that was wrong
  • b
    hmmm, ill try to build on my mac with openfl / flixel (never done that on my mac before)
  • w
    also
