In Haxe, nearly everything is an expression. (Things that aren’t: import statement, class declaration etc, which are at module level). And every expression can be evaluated to a value.
A block is an expression that is evaluated to the last expression inside the block:
var v = {
//some code
123 …Conditional Compilation (AKA preprocessor macros) in Haxe is pretty useful but limited to boolean values. We can make use of macros to use compiler flag of non-boolean type.
Usually we can define a flag mydebug in hxml:
-D mydebug
And use it in Haxe code in this …
I am back from SIGGRAPH! It was a great experience to be with all the cool guys in Los Angeles showcasing Augmented Mirror, the research project I’ve been working on for a long time (when the Kinect wasn’t here, I was using stereo cameras!).
It is now programmed …
As mentioned in the previous post on overloading, I found a way to
provide a reflection friendly, run-time implementation of a @:macro method or an
extern class. The trick is simple: build the implementation with a @:native metadata.
Here is an implementation of using such I called macro-proxied class in …
Introduced in Haxe 2.08(released in 2011), @:overload metadata
can be used to annotate a method to have several type signatures. For
example, in JQuery of
jQueryExtern, the method “html” has the
following declaration:
@:overload(function(valueOrFunction:Dynamic):JQuery{})
public function html():String;
It declares the …
Remember to put the brackets
(untyped new JQuery("#images").imageLoader)({});

Static type system of Haxe helps you a lot by performing type-checking in the compilation phase. You will be notified errors before the application is run.
Since some Haxe targets (e.g.. JS and PHP) are …
Worldwide Haxe 2012(wwx) has just ended. The long awaited Haxe Java and C# targets by Cauê Waneck (@cwaneck) were pushed to the official Haxe trunk (For now you have to build the Haxe compiler from source in order to use it).
Cauê is kind enough to let me play …
Here above is my haXe implementation of head-tracking 3D, creating motion-parallax effect using Away3D 4. You can play with the live demo or grab the source.
This type of head tracking VR has been around for quite a long time. The first popular one should be Johnny Lee’s Wiimote …
The generative arts are going to be shown in Playful Media, which is the showcase of BScCM, the Bachelor degree program I graduated last year. This is going to be my 4th year joining the exhibition(2010, 2009, 2008)! If you are in Hong Kong and have time, come to …
