HaxePunk Major Version Migration Guide

Rename com.haxepunk.* to haxepunk.*

Imports are mostly backwards compatible: there is a macro which will convert import com.haxepunk.* imports into haxepunk.* imports. This may not work when importing a single type from a differently named file (import com.haxepunk.Graphic.ImageType). Similarly, if you use import haxepunk.* for new projects, they will be converted to import com.haxepunk.* when using HaxePunk 2.6, so new-style haxepunk.* imports should be preferred.

Metadata such as @:access(com.haxepunk) will need to be replaced with @:access(haxepunk).

HXP utility functions

To reduce bloat in HXP, utility functions have been moved to other classes.

  • All math functions are now found in haxepunk.utils.MathUtil
  • Random number functions are in haxepunk.utils.Random
  • Color-related functions are part of the haxepunk.utils.Color abstract

haxepunk.utils.Draw

Some functions have been removed. It's possible they will be reimplemented using the new renderer at a later date, but this is not currently a priority.

Flash No Longer Supported

The decision was made to remove Flash support from HaxePunk 4. If you still need to compile for Flash please use the latest 2.x version.

Input Changes

Input-related functionality has moved into the haxepunk.input package, and everything related to specific input types has been moved to its own class (haxepunk.input.Mouse, haxepunk.input.Key...)

With the refactored input system, you can define inputs from multiple sources as a single action within your game:

Key.define("left", [Key.LEFT, Key.A]);
myGamepad.defineButton("left", [PS3_CONTROLLER.DPAD_LEFT]);
myGamepad.defineAxis("left", PS3_CONTROLLER.LEFT_ANALOGUE_X, -0.1, -1);
Mouse.define("left", MouseButton.LEFT);

These can then be checked using Input.check("left"), Input.pressed("left"), or Input.released("left")

Both the Engine (for global controls) and the Scene (for Scene-specific controls) also have inputPressed and inputReleased signals that you can bind callbacks to: scene.inputPressed.left.bind(myFunction).
