Lime

Lime is a flexible, lightweight layer for Haxe cross-platform developers.

Lime supports native, Flash and HTML5 targets with unified support for:

Windowing
Input
Events
Audio
Render contexts
Network access
Assets

Lime does not include a renderer, but exposes the current context:

Cairo
Canvas
DOM
Flash
GL

The GL context is based upon the WebGL standard, implemented for both OpenGL and OpenGL ES as needed.

Lime provides a unified audio API, but also provides access to OpenAL for advanced audio on native targets.

License

Lime is free, open-source software under the MIT license.

Installation

First, install the latest version of Haxe.

Then, install Lime from Haxelib and run Lime's setup command.

haxelib install lime
haxelib run lime setup

Development Builds

When there are changes, Lime is built nightly. Builds are available for download here.

To install a development build, use the "haxelib local" command:

haxelib local lime-haxelib.zip

Building from Source

Clone the Lime repository, as well as the submodules:
```
 haxelib git lime https://github.com/openfl/lime
```

Install required dependencies:

 haxelib install format
 haxelib install hxp

Copy the ndll directory from the latest Haxelib release, or see project/README.md for details about building native binaries.
After any changes to the tools or lime/tools directories, rebuild from source:
```
 lime rebuild tools
```
To switch away from a source build:
```
 haxelib set lime [version number]
```
