To compile the provided samples, first navigate to the samples directory and generate the build files. Then, use the appropriate Haxe command based on your target platform.

1. Generate build files

cd samples
haxe gen.hxml

2. Compile for specific targets

• JS/WebGL:

  haxe [sample]_js.hxml

  Then open the resulting index.html in a browser.

• HashLink:

  haxe [sample]_hl.hxml

  Then run the compiled binary: hl <sample>.hl. Note: This uses SDL by default. To use DirectX instead, replace -lib hlsdl with -lib hldx in the .hxml file.

• Flash:

  haxe [sample]_swf.hxml

  Then open the resulting <sample>.swf file.
