A lightweight and simple base structure for games, using Heaps framework and Haxe language.
Latest release notes: View changelog.
Two separate branches exist for GameBase:
master: latest GameBase version, actively maintained.legacy: the previous Gamebase version. This one is much more minimalistic but it could be useful if you were looking for a very basic framework for Heaps+Haxe.
The following document will only refer to the master branch.
- Install Haxe and Hashlink: Step-by-step tutorial
- Install required libs by running the following command in the root of the repo:
haxe setup.hxml
From the command line, run either:
- For DirectX:
haxe build.directx.hxml - For OpenGL:
haxe build.opengl.hxml - For Javascript/WebGL:
haxe build.js.hxml
The build.dev.hxml is just a shortcut to one of the previous ones, with added -debug flag.
Run the result with either:
- For DirectX/OpenGL:
hl bin\client.hl - For Javascript:
start run_js.html
An in-depth tutorial is available here: Using gamebase to create a game. Please note that this tutorial still refers to the legacy branch, even though the general idea is the same in master branch.
