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.
