Hello Mario, I saw you post on Flixel forum. Its good to hear from you. I do feel a little crippled because I dont know muchjava, and opengl is very new to me.
First I will try to awser your questions. - How much of the original Flixel API should be covered? I dont know, but W. Eraser points out this necessity of using opengles render instead of canvas render. Looks like a very good point to work on, as some flixel visual functions dont work or are impossible on canvas. - How much has been ported so far? I'd actually just rip out the interfaces/class/method signatures and replace the implementations. Sorry, cant help much. I saw about a guy, one year ago, ported somekind of flixel to android, replacing the actionscript syntax with java, and working only on render and other little issues. That version was a lot bugged, and this new flixel2 was done by Wing Eraser. Looks like a as3 flixel, added a d-pad and the canvas render. The project page has more information. If its not bothering you, can you point me some books/links to study and get a better idea of your work on libgdx? Like, to know the roots of the thing? I've read about rendering using bit blitting, like canvas render, but thats all I know so far. Really thanks for your interest, if theres something I can do to help, please ask. Cheers, Zimbres. Ps: sorry the late reply. I was working on some deadlines these days. The more that is already available the better. 2011/4/28 Mario Zechner <badlogicga...@gmail.com> > Neat, a Flixel Android port would indeed be a nice to have.
