OpenFL
An open-source library for cross-platform creative development, inspired by Flash and AIR APIs.
What is OpenFL?
OpenFL is an open-source library that enables developers to create games and applications for web, desktop, mobile, and consoles using a single codebase. It uses the Haxe programming language to maintain one codebase across different platforms while leveraging each target's strengths, providing a fast, simple approach to creative development without relying on specific implementations like browser plugins.
Game and application developers seeking to deploy projects across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, HTML5, Windows, macOS, Linux, Flash, AIR, and consoles) from a single codebase, particularly those familiar with or interested in Haxe.
Developers choose OpenFL for its extensive cross-platform support and integration with Haxe, which simplifies maintaining a single codebase while optimizing for each target's performance. Its compatibility with a rich ecosystem of libraries (like Starling, Away3D, and HaxeFlixel) and easy deployment tools further streamline development.
