hxdefold
Haxe externs for the Defold game engine, enabling type-safe game development with full API support.
What is hxdefold?
Hxdefold is a Haxe support library for the Defold game engine, providing fully typed externs that allow developers to write Defold games in Haxe. It solves the problem of untyped Lua development by offering compile-time type checking, IDE services, and type-safe APIs while maintaining compatibility with Defold's workflow. The library generates Lua glue code automatically, enabling seamless integration of Haxe classes as Defold scripts.
Game developers using the Defold engine who want to leverage Haxe's type system and tooling for safer and more maintainable code. It's particularly useful for developers familiar with Haxe looking to target Defold or those seeking to reduce runtime errors in their Defold projects.
Developers choose Hxdefold because it combines Defold's lightweight, Lua-based engine with Haxe's robust static typing and tooling. The unique selling point is zero-overhead type safety for Defold APIs, enabling early error detection, better IDE support, and code sharing across platforms while keeping Defold's hot reloading and performance.
