Strongly-typed access to the Kongregate API from Haxe.

Primary LanguageHaxe

kong.hx

Strongly-typed access to the Kongregate API from Haxe.

Getting Started

To get an instance of the Kongregate API object, call the static function Kongregate.loadApi(onLoad), passing a callback function that will accept an instance of the Kongregate API as its argument. kong.hx will load the Kongregate API in the background, and call your callback function when it is ready.

Before using the Kongregate API object, you should call api.services.connect() to connect to the Kongregate back-end (where api is an instance of the Kongregate API). It is good practise to call this function as soon as possible after obtaining a Kongregate API object.

The Kongregate API object matches the typedef KongregateApi, which exposes the majority of the Kongregate API with strong typing.

Further documentation is available inline in the implementation, and from the Kongregate Developer Center.

Platforms

kong.hx can be used when targeting Flash 8 or 9 (or later).

It should be straightforward to extend it to work when targeting JavaScript.

Missing features

kong.hx does not currently support:

  • Custom Chat
  • Feeds and User Messaging

It should be straightforward to add support for these features.
