# haxe-ui
  • b
    it started off all "yeah, dox v2.0 - gonna be sweeeeet"... and then it got massively out of hand very fast 😄
  • b
    so now its more of a "haxeui doc gen" 😄
  • f
    Hmm.. might be worth writing one in elixir.. pattern matching is really useful for this sort of app.
  • b
    meh, i dont have the time to rewrite all of that, even slow and messy "doc-gen" works "fine"... and outputs decent enough docs (still needs some tweaks for sure)
  • f
    if it ain't broke don't fix it. I approve 👍
  • b
    it think with haxeui doc gen it would be more appropriate to say "if it ain't totally broke... ... its... well, its fine" 😄
  • r
    I still wonder why there is no UI builder or a Visual editor for Haxe ?
  • b
    because its alot of work... especially to get right... i had the beginnings of one ages ago, but it stalled... at some point ill have another stab at it, but simply put its not a "sure, yeah, i got 10 mins, lets create a WSYIWYG visual editor" 😄
  • b
    ... you are, of course, welcome to build one yourself 🙂 But i think you'll be surprised just how much work it is to do correctly
  • b
  • b
    this was also very cool, but also a massive amount of work to get right: https://twitter.com/IanHarrigan1982/status/1182714553689354241
  • b
    ... sweet, more that doable 🙂
  • f
    in js.... using say const ding = new Audio("assets/sound/ding.mp3") and then after a listener event set and assigning this sound to play on a keydown or button pressed, it would play the sound. I seem to be missing something as far as it working in Haxe/HaxeUI. Is there something else I need to be adding to que up the sound?
  • b
    i would have expected it to work the same / similar tbh
  • f
    i'm an idiot, it works, I figured out what the problem was, peeked at the console, apparently uploading a sound to HaxeUI playground doesn't like the audio files, called the file from an external source and it plays
  • f
    Was messing around before laying down for a nap. 🙂 http://haxeui.org/builder/?1a9cd34c
  • b
    that looks fun 🙂 I dont get any sound either... probably for the same reason, ill check out the sound stuff, i must confess ive never once tried to play sound from a haxeui app, so there may very well be some issues (or it could be the builder not uploading them properly, no idea)
  • f
    I literally use haxe because I wanted a game ecosystem that didn't require excessive use of a GUI
  • f
    @bright-gpu-74537 No visual editor 😠 Spend time on more better things.. Like fixing bugs that only I could possibly run into 🤪
  • f
    but flippant manner and jokes aside I tried to create a visual editor once.. It was a lot harder than I thought
  • f
    Long story short: I wanted to create wordpress... but with nextjs
  • r
    I understand, but looking at the capabilities by this time somebody should have tried something about it.
  • r
    wow! then you should be more hungry for an editor 😛
  • a
    editors exist
  • a
    ldtk, ogmo3
  • r
    these are level editors, I was referring to ui builders, where we can drag and drop ui elements
  • f
    Using xml with HaxeUI is close enough to drop and drop for me, considering the available layouts and containers.
  • r
    a WYSIWYG editor is what we need
  • l
    you can start writing one any day… be sure to post regular updates in #1019922106370232360
  • r
    I don't think WYSIWYG is that important personally, but would be cool to see someone make one
