Moved to word press:

New blog here: https://makegameshappen.wordpress.com Just got sick of google trying to control all my stuff with one global account. Leaves me spending half my day logging into and out of accounts. Very annoying. Using word press will be less disruptive to my work flow. -John Mark

Moving to WordPress

Here: https://makegameshappen.wordpress.com/ I've finally had it with google disrupting my workflow. I log into Youtube, get logged out of the Gmail account I was using. I log into Blogspot, have to log out of Gmail and then into a different Gmail. Then end up having to re-type blogspot.com to get back where I was. I am not a fan of this unification of accounts that Google is up to. It is a pain and severely disrupts my workflow. If there is a decent non-google option that doesn't make my life a pain, I will go for it. I've been dealing with this problem for at least a year. And I've probably lost a lot of productivity. -John Mark

I doubt anyone will sympathize with me:

TileLayer Haxe Install

I used HaxeLib Install TileLayer... And it installed.
But FlashDevelop cannot find the library when I include
 in my application.xml file.

I need to focus on making a game rather than pipeline issues...
So I think I am going to go ahead and ignore learning openGL, drawTiles,
or whatever TileLayer is and just work on making a game targeting HTML5 and ActionScript.

If the game is good enough, then I will worry about porting to mobile.
For now, I am just going to design for mobile but release to web.

I don't see myself being productive if I am pulled in so many directions at once.

aze.display

If you see aze.display in a haxe project. The aze namespace belongs to this library: http://lib.haxe.org/p/tilelayer

OpenGL Haxe Reading List:

Includes a Sparrow spritesheets parser supporting animations and trimming. The openGL haxe project I am looking at: https://github.com/bmfs/glslTest_openfl

ARGH!

Looks like I need to understand OPENGL before I can figure out haxe's implimentation of openGL. Doesn't appear to be enough documentation to figure it out otherwise. -John Mark //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16559095/opengl-with-haxe-c @MichaelIV, actually NME's implementation targets OpenGL ES 2.0, which means that it supports shader pipelines (see github.com/haxenme/NME/blob/master/native/gl/GL.hx#L538).
