hxyarn

hxyarn is a Haxe implementation of the Yarn Spinner dialogue system, enabling developers to create and manage interactive dialogue trees in Haxe-based games and applications. It provides a robust framework for writing, compiling, and executing Yarn scripts, supporting complex branching narratives and custom logic.

Key Features

• Yarn File Parser — Compiles Yarn dialogue files into executable programs using a Haxe-based compiler.
• Dialogue Runner — Manages dialogue flow with handlers for lines, options, commands, and node transitions.
• Custom Functions — Register Haxe functions callable from Yarn scripts for game-specific logic and effects.
• Hot Reload Support — Live reloading of Yarn files during development, particularly with the Heaps framework.
• Memory Variable Storage — Built-in variable store for tracking dialogue state and choices.

Philosophy

hxyarn aims to bring the accessible, narrative-focused design of Yarn Spinner to the Haxe ecosystem, prioritizing compatibility with existing Yarn tools and documentation while adapting to Haxe's cross-platform strengths.
