How do I compile this? I've installed haxe, lime, openfl, renamed openfl version from 1.4.0 to 1.2.3, but every time I install a dependency it gets stuck on another. The one it's currently stuck on is spinehaxe, for which google finds two github repositories, neither of which seem to be of any use. It's not in the lime repositories either.

How do you compile this?

You'll need a few of my own libraries:

* spinehaxe: github.com/bendmorris/spinehaxe

* SpinePunk: github.com/bendmorris/SpinePunk

* my fork of HaxePunk: github.com/bendmorris/HaxePunk (use the "all" branch) which has modifications not accepted into the main version yet

To install spinehaxe and SpinePunk, clone the repository, enter that directory, and run the command "haxelib dev <library name> src". For HaxePunk, clone my fork, check out the "all" branch, and run "haxelib dev HaxePunk path/to/haxepunk"

Hopefully installing those should be enough to get it working.

By the way, on Chrome, I can't move at all. WASD nor arrows work, but the other controls (like X) do work.

EDIT: Got to a score of 7 then the game froze. I think it's a bit unbalanced at the moment... there's just too much advantage for revealing yourself: you get to run very fast, and you can easily maneuver behind people. Also, there are a lot of netcode issues such as entities showing up that aren't actually there. It's pretty fun though!

EDIT2: Yeah, there's some kind of freeze (infinite loop) bug on Firefox that sometimes triggers after killing someone. Makes it hard to play...

I think this game has a lot of potential. You should put in a leaderboard to see who has the highest score.

EDIT3: Managed to trigger the "can't move" bug on Firefox, so it looks like it's not browser-specific. Then I triggered the freeze bug after pressing Z, so it looks like it doesn't matter whether or not you've killed someone for triggering the freeze.

Did all you said, modded the openfl version to 1.3.0, then the following:

     - Running command: haxe bin/linux64/cpp/haxe/release.hxml -D HXCPP_M64

Edit: So it's not `make linux` it seems, `make flash` seems to do something... Let's try making the server or something...

Edit2: ./server:

    [...]
    Called from flash/Lib.hx line 191
    Called from /usr/lib/haxe/std/neko/Lib.hx line 30
    Uncaught exception - load.c(237) : Failed to load library : lime.ndll (lime.ndll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Edit3: Found lime.ndll in some bin folder somewhere. Copied it over to where ./server is. Now it seems to try to bind to 54.244.244.60 (your server's IP) which of course doesn't work. Server.n is a binary format, that can't be the config file, hmm...

Edit4: Oh there are replies that HN doesn't show in edit mode. Okay. Gonna try this!

In HaxePunk, edit the file "include.xml." Find openfl, remove the version completely (just "<haxelib name=openfl />"), save and try again.

The targets you want are "flash-final" for the client and "server" for the server.

Before building, modify src/hidenstab/Defs.hx to change the host and port.

You'll need to run "lime setup linux" to build the lime.ndll file and then copy it into the hide-n-stab directory.

edit because I can't reply to your comment: yes, the client also uses the values in Defs.hx. It's likely a Flash security issue due to running it locally. Try adding "-Dnetwork-sandbox" to the command in the Makefile which builds the flash client.

Okay the server seems to run now, but the client gives a black screen. When using `make flash` (without -final) it does show "Masks", "output:" and "-- HaxePunk 2.6.0-dev --", but still no game. Does the flash client also use the values in src/hiddenstab/Defs.hx?

How's it going?

Still not working. It seems to compile, but I don't know what to do with the black screen that the client gives. Compile errors are googleable, but I don't feel like digging into code in some language that I have never used. I wouldn't know how to do console.log nor where to read the console log.
