Build & Run

This directory contains an OpenFL project. The project.xml file specifies the project's configuration options, and the Haxe source code appears in the src directory.

To run this project, open a terminal in this directory, and run the following command:

openfl test html5

The project.xml file contains a line for each sample, like this:

<app main="Bouncing1"/>

All except one of the samples are commented out:

<!-- <app main="Fountain"/> -->

To switch between samples, comment out the currently selected sample, and uncomment a different sample. Then, run openfl test html5 again.

Alternatively, you can switch between samples without modifying project.xml by specifying the --app-main command line option with the sample name.

openfl test html5 --app-main=Fountain
