halk2

Live coding extension for Haxe programming language.

Tested targets: flash, neko, html5, cpp(desktop)

Installation

• haxelib git halk https://github.com/profelis/halk2.git
• goto haxelib/halk/(version)/
• cd haxelib && haxe build.hxml // generate run.n

Usage

Default build (without halk magic)

haxelib run halk build.hxml // simple haxe project

or

haxelib run halk test flash // openfl project

Magic build (additional args: --no-inline)

1. Build application haxelib run halk build ... -halk

2. Run application haxelib run halk run ...

3. Incremental build (skip all steps, only haxe build) (additional args: --no-output --no-inline) haxelib run halk build ... -halka // allow -halk + random char (halk3, halke, halki, etc)

Manual usage (not recommended for openfl/lime projects)

• Set magic define -D halk_angry
• Build with --no-inline flag
• Rebuild with --no-inline --no-output flags

Recommends

Useful compiler flags -debug -dce no --connect 4444

for lime project

<haxeflag name="-debug" if="halk_angry"/>
<haxeflag name="-dce no" if="halk_angry"/>
<haxeflag name="--connect 4444"/>

More info about --connect http://haxe.org/manual/cr-completion-server.html

Known problems

• If you see EUnknownVariable(__dollar__#####)) set --no-inline (autoset in haxelib run halk)
• -debug required for cpp target
