    i don't know unity 😄
  • e
    unreal engine
  • l
    hmm
  • e
    its an actual game engine with an editor interface
  • a
    from the code pov
  • l
    think kha but with an integrated editor
  • a
    ah okay
  • e
    godot has its own scripting language
  • l
    or heaps with an integrated editor
  • e
    that you can ignore and use haxe instead 😎
  • a
    probably closer to heaps/openfl looking at what you get out of the box
  • a
    with kha-life as an option
  • l
    you get a lot of utility for sure
  • l
    yep, u nailed it
  • e
    godot is really easy to learn, but also its really easy to throw away all of the easy things it gives you and do stuff your own way

    I'm just chiming in here, in the heaps backend, it draws by triangulating poly lines into shapes. So for example, the information says it needs to have a rounded rectangle with a white border and red fill, it is generating a vertex buffer and index buffer with geometry to match that, using vertex colors for the color. It then just renders it to the screen, and uses gl scissor to clip the geometry against its parent bounds.
  • m
    Against the mask I mean
  • m
    I'm guessing the same thing could be done in Godot as long as it's possible to deal with vertex buffers, index buffers, etc. In that case you wouldn't be using Godot's built in UI controls, but then again, not 100% sure you'd want to.
  • e
    what if there was documentation for making a haxeui backend
  • b
    yeah, wouldnt that be nice? 🙂 Tbh, for the longest of times, no one ever even tried to write a backend - then all of a sudden, 3 at the same time - like buses i guess 😄
  • f
    Three ? I saw two ( godot and and a lime backend ?? don't remembeer ). What is the third one ?
  • b
    !billy is playing with a backend i think
  • f
    Ha ok. A backend to what, do you know ?
  • b
    ... you'd have to ask him i guess 🙂
  • f
    haxui-gdi for Windows for Workgroups 3.11
  • f
    haxui-mactoolbox for System 7 "who needs hypercard"
  • f
    haxui-amiga
  • b
    heh heh 🙂 Did you just volunteer to write 3 backends?? 😄
  • f
    Yeah I'll get them done in like 500 years
  • f
