Newbie: How to use the template file/folder? #34

Closed sixman9 closed 12 years ago

sixman9 commented 12 years ago

Hi Zaphod, This isn't really an issue, I'm new to Haxe/NME, just wondering how to use the template[.zip] file?

I notice some '${PROJECT_*}' place holders which need substituting, is this a manual thing or is there an nme/haxe tool or ide that will do this substitution for me, say during new project creation?

Thanks

Rich

you need to:

  1. install library from haxelib, just call in command-line "haxelib install flixel" (without quotations)
  2. open up command line (if you closed it) and navigate to your project folder
  3. from project folder call in command-line "haxelib run flixel -name YourProjectName -class YourProjectMainClassName -screen ProjectWidth ProjectHeight" (not all parameters are requiared). This will create template for your project in the folder you navigated.
  4. Start to code your project...

Hope it will help
