ZE2D

An openfl gameobject/component system game framework for Haxe. Inspired by FlashPunk, Unity.

Purpose

Aims to create a simple and working proof of concept engine/framework for easy usage for creating games in flash/haxe/openfl context.

What works currently?

• Component Entity system
• Rendering - Tilesheet(layered)/DisplayList(non-layered)
• Basic Physics - AABB and Grid based
• Audio
• Debug - Can pause game and uses mouse to drag game object around

Hello, World!

1. Create a blank main.hx.

   static function main() 
   {
       new Engine(new MyScene());
   }
   

2. Create a blank MyScene.hx.

   package;
   import ze.component.graphic.displaylist.Text;
   import ze.object.GameObject;
   import ze.object.Scene;
   import ze.util.Color;
   
   class MyScene extends Scene //Important to extend from Scene
   {
       private var _text:Text;
       private var _gameObject:GameObject;
   
       override private function added():Void
       {
           super.added();
   
   		// Note: Always addGameObject() first before adding any component.
   		_gameObject = new GameObject("GameObject", 300, 300);       //Create a new gameObject called GameObject
   		addGameObject(_gameObject);                                 //Add the gameObject to scene
   
   		_text = new Text("Hello, World!", Color.WHITE);             //Create a new component called Text
   		_gameObject.addComponent(_text);                            //Add the component to gameObject
       }
   }
   

There you have your first attempt at using Ze2D.

To create new GameObjects, just extend GameObject. (Extending from above).

1. Create a blank Player.hx.

   package;
   import ze.component.graphic.displaylist.Text;
   import ze.object.GameObject;
   import ze.util.Color;
   
   class Player extends GameObject
   {
       private var _text:Text;
       override private function added():Void
       {
   		super.added();
           _text = new Text("Hello, World!", Color.WHITE);
           addComponent(_text);
       }
   }
   

2. and in MyScene.hx.

   package;
   import ze.object.Scene;
   
   class MyScene extends Scene //Important to extend from Scene
   {
       private var _player:Player;
   
       override private function added():Void
       {
           _player = new Player();
           addGameObject(_player);
       }
   }
