For this Ludum Dare, I’ll be using the Actionscript library/engine I started writing last Ludum Dare. I’m calling it Stixel for now, since it started as a replacement for Flixel.

Stixel has some physics, including mass/momentum calculations. Its collision detection assumes circles. Structure-wise, it’s more vector-oriented and Flash-like than Flixel, relying on the display list for rendering and nesting. It also supports wrapping maps.

The source zip contains:

• The current version of Stixel
• The state machine classes I created last Ludum Dare for managing game states
• An experimental Asteroids game that shows off some features of Stixel (wrapping, rotation, physics)
