  If it were me and the surfaces of the planets remain the same I would just use a simple looping animation instead. At least, that's just what I would do.

  Strange. I ran it with a neko build, set a timer for one minute, and the text remained the full time. I ran it again just to check. I don't see anything in the code that would cause it to do that.

  The only thing out of the ordinary I found was it asked for a library called thx.csv in project.xml.

  I don't know what library that was references so I removed it like so:

  <!--haxelib name="thx.csv" /-->

  If you do know what it is and what it's referencing and the problem occurred with that file then try removing it if it's not critical.

  Hope that helps.

  @wilfryed Well, I updated to those versions. For the flash build I get the following:

  Building RogueDrop
  Running Pre-Build Command Line...
  cmd: "C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe/haxelib" run lime build "Project.xml" flash -release -Dfdb
  Warning: OpenFL expects Haxe 3.4.3 or greater, but version 3.4.1 (git build master @ 5c44548) is being used
  haxelib run openfl build C:\Users\Robert\Desktop\BlocksRogueDrop\Project.xml flash
  Warning: OpenFL expects Haxe 3.4.3 or greater, but version 3.4.1 (git build master @ 5c44548) is being used
  Build succeeded

  And a black screen in the swf player.

  For windows, I get the following:

  Error: 64bit is not autmatically supported for this version of VC. Set HXCPP_MSVC_CUSTOM and manually configure the executable, library and include paths
  Error: Error: 64bit is not autmatically supported for this version of VC. Set HXCPP_MSVC_CUSTOM and manually configure the executable, library and include paths
  Build halted with errors.

  For html5 I get the following:

  Warning: OpenFL expects Haxe 3.4.3 or greater, but version 3.4.1 (git build master @ 5c44548) is being used
  C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe\std/js/html/Document.hx:466: characters 296-301 : Type not found : Touch
  Build halted with errors.

  Neko:

  Runs but slows down on particle emission. (something on the to do list)

  Android:

  Error: ./src/lime/ui/Joystick.cpp: In member function 'String lime::ui::Joystick_obj::get_guid()':

  HXLINE( 108) return ::lime::_internal::backend::native::NativeCFFI_obj::lime_joystick_get_device_name(this->id);

  I might need to update haxe itself but I can do that tomorrow. Otherwise known as why I don't update.

  Sure. Here's the relevant functions from my Bullet class:

  public function new() { super(); makeGraphic(3, 3); solid = false; allowCollisions = FlxObject.NONE; } public function init(X:Float, Y:Float, Target:Enemy, Damage:Float) { reset(X, Y); _target = Target; _damage = Damage; } override public function update(elapsed:Float):Void { if(!isOnScreen(FlxG.camera)) { // This bullet missed its target and flew off-screen; no reason to keep it around. kill(); } else if(_target.alive) { // Move toward the target that was assigned in init(). FlxVelocity.moveTowardsObject(this, _target, 200); if (overlaps(_target)) { _target.hurt(_damage); kill(); } } else { // kill(); } super.update(elapsed); }

  Here's the bullet creation code from my tower class:

  var bulletFiring:Bullet = new Bullet(); bulletFiring.init(x, y, target, _damage*_integrity); bulletFiring.loadGraphic("assets/images/candyYellow.png"); bulletFiring.setGraphicSize(10, 10); bulletFiring.updateHitbox(); Reg.PS._bullets.add(bulletFiring);

  I understand now. I added another 8x8 square to the tilemap graphic like you suggested and that solved my problem. Thanks!

  Ah, I see. That was what I wanted to know, thanks.

  By the way, if anyone has a similar question in the future, I recommend the OpenFL API reference at https://api.openfl.org/. I've been using the HaxeFlixel API reference at https://api.haxeflixel.com, but they don't have any documentation for some classes, like BitmapData, beyond just listing the class member names.

  Hm, the Flash player shouldn't just close / crash when there's an error... The debug player normally always displays a popup box with a stacktrace.

  Have you tried HTML5 / is there anything in the dev console of the browser?

  How to handle floating point arithmetic errors in FlxObject.health?

  Thanks everyone for the responses. One thing I was wondering was whether this kind of error can happen at all, since all the examples I've seen use health as though it's an exact value and they seem to work fine. I don't know anything about how Haxe handles floats internally, so for all I know it's entirely possible that the regular float checking in the hurt() function works as expected, and the codebook is just wrong or at least misleading.

  Probably best to play it safe. So anyway, these are all good suggestions. I'll probably do what dean suggested and override hurt().

  Oh, that's perfect! That's exactly what I wanted to do, thanks.

  Just wanted to continue documenting what I encountered during my attempts to get Android compiling OK:

  So, although the C++ issue above was resolved, I quickly encountered a new issue/error:

  ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /Users/Joncom/SDKs//java_jdk
  Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
  location of your Java installation.

  The strange thing about this issue was that I could echo $JAVA_HOME and it looked correct already, and yet the build process thought JAVA_HOME pointed somewhere completely different.

  $ echo $JAVA_HOME
  /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_101.jdk/Contents/Home

  The fix was to comment out this line in ~/.lime/config.xml:

  <set name="JAVA_HOME" value="/Users/Joncom/SDKs//java_jdk" />

  like so:

  <-- <set name="JAVA_HOME" value="/Users/Joncom/SDKs//java_jdk" /> -->

  and comment out this line in ~/.hxcpp_config.xml:

  <set name="JAVA_HOME" value="${SDK_ROOT}/java_jdk" unless="JAVA_HOME" />

  like so:

  <!-- <set name="JAVA_HOME" value="${SDK_ROOT}/java_jdk" unless="JAVA_HOME" /> -->

  OK, getting closer. Now when I try to build, I get the following:

Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. BUILD FAILED Total time: 1 mins 27.682 secs

  There's actually two problems here. The first thing I noticed was that it was telling me to Set executable permissions for the gradle binary it just downloaded/unzipped. I figured I might just need to re-run the command with sudo.

  sudo lime build android

  Yep. That did it! :)

  However, the build still failed, still complaining about:

  failed to find target with hash string 'android-26'

  Opening "Android Studio", and navigating to Tools > SDK Manager, and installing SDK 26 resolved this issue, and finally build was successful.

  Thanks to @dean, @Gama11, and @NotBilly (in HaxeFlixel Discord channel) for helping me through this.

  @Claudio-Ficara I ended up doing so on ubuntu with 3 monitors.
  However, when I run the haxeflixel compiled c++ program, it takes up only one monitor and doesn't span on the others...
  Any idea how to make it aware of all 3 monitors?

  Probably an ubuntu-based question, but so far I couldn't find anything in google or the settings that resolved this...
  Or perhaps it's something in the Project.xml definition?...

  Thanks,
  Idan

  Hi! Thanks for answering. That looks like a good idea but I'd have no idea how to implement it at all. Since I'm not familiar with arrays OR how they'd work to do such a system. Thanks again though. That just means I need to do arrays for the NEXT iteration of this game. Sigh.

  Thanks again!

  Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been busy.
