Port some of the sfx classes from FlixelPowerTools

[Beeblerox]

• CenterSlide
• FloodFill (maybe)
• RainbowLine
• SineWave
• GlitchFX

maybe others (don't know yet)

[Beeblerox]

StarfieldFX is complete

[Beeblerox]

porting GlitchFX should be easy. It isn't complicated effect.

[Beeblerox]

GlitchFX is complete. It was harder that I thought

[Beeblerox]

floodfill fx should be not harder than glitch fx. Maybe it will be next fx I'll convert

[Beeblerox]

I won't port RainbowLine fx since it heavily relies on setPixel() method which make it very-very hard to recreate with drawTiles()

I was testing StarfieldFX on cpp and it is giving me a "Segmentation fault" crash. Sorry but the code behind your port is beyond my understanding.

Am I using it ok here https://github.com/impaler/HaxeFlixelDemoes/blob/master/BulletManager1/source/Registry.hx ?

It is working awesome in flash :)

[Beeblerox]

I think you do it wrong. Here is working example:

if (FlxG.getPlugin(FlxSpecialFX) == null)
{
    FlxG.addPlugin(new FlxSpecialFX());
}

starfield = FlxSpecialFX.starfield();

stars = starfield.create(0, 32, 320, 176, 256);
starfield.setStarSpeed ( 0, 1 );

add(stars);

think about starfield object as a model and star object as a view

P.S. I'll upload updated (beta-) version of lib later (today)

[impaler]

Thanks starfield looks awesome on android!! :)

Exciting about new version of lib, make it an alpha version, I'll help you test it.

There maybe another cpp bug with FlxG.keys.justReleased, at least it doesnt crash if you remove the lines in keys in https://github.com/impaler/HaxeFlixelDemoes/blob/master/BulletManager1/source/PlayState.hx#L35

I must be in a very different timezone to you Beeblerox, I am already awake too late and have to go to bed now to wake up for work :)

@impaler If I remember you live in the capital of Australia, so the difference between our timezones is about 6 and a half hours. I havent tested functional keys on cpp target, but remember that there was problems with wrong key codes.

[Beeblerox]

need to make GlitchFX work with new layer system

[impaler]

Yes you were correct the problem is with the function keys in cpp.

I wanted to offer a patch but looks like function keys have a bug in cpp for now as their key code conflicts with others, http://www.haxenme.org/community/forums/bugs/f1-f12-generate-wrong-keycodes/

[Beeblerox]

@impaler yes, unfortunately it's quite old problem

[Beeblerox]

I think I'll leave these classes until next release
