\n For every ludumdare, I used Python with Pygame. But this time I decided to change and discover something different, and I choose to try Haxe.
\n I think you can learn it really quickly, because for me, it’s similar to Java (but it’s less annoying, I have to admit, I don’t really like Java :p)
\n There is multiple game framework for Haxe, I choosed HaxeFlixel, but there is also HaxePunk and Flambe (or OpenFL if you just want a basical library).
\n The big inconvenient is the lack of documentation.","spam":"N"},{"author_name":"","time":"April 21, 2014 1:32 pm","epoch":1398105120,"text":"That’s a tricky one. It all has to do with frameworks.

im contemplating learning a new language for this ludum.. \u00a0everytime i have used java<\/p>\n

but i realize i spend so much of my time just getting to the point where there i can just draw<\/p>\n

something to the screen\/input etc.. i start from scratch everytime and dont seem to be coding<\/p>\n

in between ludums so i forgot alot of it by the time the next one comes around ;p<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

i was just wondering if any one had any suggestions to quickly try and learn another language with<\/p>\n

possibly a framework in place to get up and running quite quickly as this time i would like the put<\/p>\n

more into the gfx\/sfx and actually gameplay instead of building everything from the ground up..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

plus im kind of sick of fighting with java to get it working online with ppl having to update\/accept<\/p>\n

security things etc..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

cheers<\/p>\n
