How many people are using pure openfl development?

2

Just using OpenFL without using any other engines

3

Curious, may I ask
Curious, may I ask

4

I am not a professional programmer, I learned the code myself, and my foundation is average

5

The homepage of the forum is filled with posts I have posted, and there are too many questions from beginners ..

6

Why does the enterFrame event parameter not have a delta attribute?

7

Different fps results in varying movement speeds, so typically engines provide a delta attribute to calculate and maintain consistency across all speeds

8

But I haven’t found that OpenFL provides delta, do I need to calculate it myself?

9

I’m so tired! I’m going to bed.

OpenFL is based on Flash, and Event.ENTER_FRAME in Flash didn’t include a delta time either. You can use Lib.getTimer() to get a timestamp, and then subtract the previous frame’s timestamp from that value to get the delta time.

OpenFL is just one part of Haxe programming language. Haxe is not a mainstream language but it is far from an academic language. There are companies and individuals that make a good living from Haxe, they are likely quite talented, and there are many that make a living with mainstream languages but prefer to use Haxe in their spare time. So if your question is if you can make products that make money with Haxe and/or with OpenFL then the answer is definitely it can be an more than advantage! But if your question is can I get a mainstream programming language Job using Haxe then the answer is that there are not many and you should try more mainstream languages. Haxe is great at enabling creation, perhaps better than most popular languages, but it is not an easy way to find programming roles. Larger haxe frameworks like openfl have huge scope but due to the small user base have holes in documentation and features, but if your able to fix them yourself and do your homework then it may not be so bad, atleast it is not like a closed system where your at the mercy of the corporation whims.
