Self-recommendation for the lightweight Flash Starling game development framework I created

[und666]

I am a junior independent game developer from China. I have been learning to develop with Flash Air for over 10 years. Recently, during the transition period of game development, I focused on researching the Starling framework. However, I didn't seem to find a convenient Starling animation solution. Therefore, I developed a simple Starling acceleration framework, aiming to enable users to develop projects using traditional Flash development techniques without writing Starling code, and create high-performance Starling projects. Its high frame rate experience can be similar to that of 2D Unity applications. If you are interested, welcome to my homepage to experience it

a simple Starling acceleration framework,

what exactly does this framework do ?
also do you mind discussing it in our discord channel as well https://discord.gg/USDd3Q3kqZ

Hello, I'm very glad to see that you are interested in the framework I created.
This framework is prepared by me for developing lightweight AS3 high-frame-rate applications in the future
In simple terms, this framework is a simple wrapper around Starling. Its principle is to take over your project, hide all display objects of Flash in traditional projects, and use Starling for rendering.
In this way, you can not only utilize the animation editor of the original Flash IDE, but also enjoy the rendering efficiency of Starling
This enables developers to develop Starling projects with minimal cost (without writing Starling code)
Suitable for rapid implementation of temporary prototype projects
If you are interested in my project, you are welcome to give it a star (this may help me in my future job search. Thank you)
Regarding the platform you mentioned, I will join the discussion after registering an account later
Thank you very much!

so it will automatically convert all vector assets to textures ?

Yes, and the textures will be placed in a 2048*2048 texture paging manager to reduce drawcalls. Generally, a small game can be controlled within 15 drawcalls

have you tested it on big games ? on mobile platforms ?

I haven't tested this framework on a large-scale game yet. I tested its application on my original small game (around 2000 lines of code) and it ran smoothly and stably. I don't think this framework can be used for large-scale games, as performance may deteriorate when the number of objects in the scene increases

Regarding the testing on the mobile platform, the compatibility is not very good. Some large image textures seem to be unable to display normally (possibly due to issues with my AIR SDK version). However, there is still room for improvement in this framework

Thanks for sharing information about this project of yours, @und666 – that sounds intriguing! 👏
