How to link Nape to actual graphics?

[Leo Cavalcante]

Right,

I've Nape working great and I can see it through debugger,

but how can I make it work with actual graphics? From simple vectors to bitmap assets?
Cheers!

It depends on framework/engine you use. Nape itself provides basic drawing only for debugging purposes. Some Haxe/AS3 game engines provides Nape support out of the box, I suppose, so you need to look at them. But inside any of them will be simple principle: get a body's x/y/rotation and write it to properties of a display object.

Sample from pixi.haxe engine:

function _onUpdate(elapsedTime:Float) {
        _space.step(1 / 60);

        for(i in 0 ... _pballs.length) {
            _balls[i].position.x = _pballs[i].position.x;
            _balls[i].position.y = _pballs[i].position.y;
            _balls[i].rotation = _pballs[i].rotation;
        }
}

Alright, exactly what I suspected, thanks!

Decided to handle it by myself + OpenFl:

A lot more work, but a lot more control and learn, I guess.

Feedback appreciated!
