Plans for more Proofs

[SeiferTim]

I think I've come up with most of the Concepts that we need - there might be a few more to add (Nape?)

Here are some ideas for proofs and other topics to cover:

• Basics:
  • Adding objects
  • Talk about things like Draw order?
  • Explain alive, exists, kill, revive, destroy?
• Text:
  • Input Text? Is that a thing, or am I imagining it...?
• Movement:
  • thrust-style movement?
• Groups:
  • More recycling 'tricks', getFirstAvailable, etc.
  • sort
• Overlap:
  • Pixel-perfect overlap
  • group overlap
• Tiling:
  • raycasting
  • tile properties (one-way tiles, etc)
• Camera:
  • flash
  • fade
  • follow with different kinds of following styles
  • multiple cameras
• Input:
  • keyboard input
  • mouse input
  • touch/gamepad/swipe?
• UI:
  • scrollFactor? (might belong in Basics, instead?)
  • buttons
  • talk about flixel-ui?
• States:
  • switchState
  • substates

Draw order should definitely be covered - sorting by z, custom sorting functions. Very commonly asked question.

There's FlxInputText in flixel-ui, but it doesn't work that well.

States also needs to cover resetState.

scrollFactor isn't really specific to UI (parallax scrolling, your demo... ;))

[SeiferTim]

scrollFactor probably belongs in camera?

[Gama11]

Yeah.

FlxTilemap is incredibly hard to learn. people don't really think to look in the base class and demos don't cover many of the fundamental features. it's such a common feature for newcomers and not everyone learns from stepped tutorials and demos I think snippets should cover or at least mention:

• how tilemaps are structured
• loadMapFromCSV, loadMapFromArray, loadMapFromGraphic
• setTileProperties
• colliding with a tilemap
• autotiling

• we need to remove Health as this feature is being deprecated
• I'd like to redo some of the collision proofs, they don't really showcase the collision system that much, they seem more like tweens
• Same with Gravity and MaxVelocity, it seems like a tween
• I'd like to simplify Jumping, and add the current proof as "Variable Jumping"
