Unreal.hx: Using Haxe with the Unreal Engine 4

[waneck]

I'd like to have a talk about the project I've been developing with proletariat: https://github.com/proletariatgames/unreal.hx . We've got quite a lot to talk about this - from being able to leverage the full Unreal C++ ecosystem with Haxe using macros and hxcpp, to the use of cppia to make iteration times negligible

[ibilon]

Hey, so full length (40 min) talk?

[waneck]

Yes, I believe there is content for a full length talk - from getting started to how it works internally, there's a lot to talk about! :)

Be sure to keep some time to amaze our eyes with a breath taking live demo! Can we take last year bio and pic to announce your talk?

[clemos]

Bump @waneck :) We'd really like to announce your talk: can we use last year's bio and picture ?

Job title Engineer at Proletariat, Inc. Biography Cauê is the main author of the Java and C# targets. He loves working with game and server development, and exploring the possibilities of Haxe while doing so! Talk's title Unreal.hx: Unveiling the power of the Unreal Engine with Haxe Talk's focus & description In this talk, I will present Proletariat's latest library, Unreal.hx, which integrates Haxe into the Unreal Engine in a more feature complete manner than any other language integration, apart from the official C++. I will show how to setup a project, how the project uses macros to achieve this tight integration with the C++ API, and how it uses the cppia VM to leverage faster iteration. I will discuss also how the created Unreal.hx toolchain might be used to integrate other C++ libraries with Haxe out-of-the-box

Thanks, I'll add you to the website.

What picture do you want us to use?

[waneck]

Well, I don't usually take pictures and I suck at using them. So I've asked my girlfriend to choose it and the choice was this one. Let me know if it works

[ibilon]

It works ;)

Hello! Is there a recording of this session?

[ibilon]

@jeebus3000 all talks were recorded and will be put online.

[jeebus3000]

Cool! Thanks!

[ibilon]

Hey @waneck, couldn't find your presentation online, could you upload it? (or send us a link if I just missed it) Also would it be ok for us to upload it on the wwx website?

[waneck]

Hey! The slides are at https://slides.com/cauewaneck/unreal-hx . I can send you guys an html of this, but I don't think there will be a version that is 100% in the wwx website. Anyway, I'd be of course fine if you can do it.

[ibilon]

Thanks, I think it ended up ok http://wwx.silexlabs.org/2016/assets/presentations/caue-waneck/#/ and almost 100% on the wwx repository.
