ParallaxLT 0.1.0 Announcement

[Itz-Miles]

Hey contributors, big changes are coming to ParallaxLT!

I wanted to announce that parallaxLT is getting a rework for 0.1.0
The update so far brings better manipulation, performance improvements, and small bugfixes.

making parallax easier to manipulate

1. position behaves like FlxSprite
   In times past, the classic ParallaxSprite class used two FlxObjects which could be manipulated to set positions and scrollFactors. This was great and all, but I've decided to introduce x2 and y2, which determine the world coordinates of the sprite's bottom right edge!

2. scrollFactor behaves like FlxSprite
   Also filling the role the FlxObjects had, the new scrollFactor2 goes hand-in-hand with the positions. It can be manipulated to determine the scroll factor of the sprite's bottom right edge!

3. origin behaves like FlxSprite
   The origin of a ParallaxSprite has always been zero to make the matrix calculations simpler, but this meant that the sprite rotated from the top left. I made rotation origin logic separate from the rendering origin so you go all-out on those angles!

squashing a big bug

getScreenBounds does not account for multiple scrollFactors

improving the performance

1. getters and setters for costly value changes
2. render pipeline overrides draw instead of checking for drawComplex
3. absolute world coordinates replace anchor argument for screenspace

I'd like to thank all of you crafty stargazers who thought my haxelib was cool!
I look forward to seeing how far you can push ParallaxLT 0.1.0 to its limits.

Feel free to leave feedback or suggestions while I add new features.

Once it releases, download the update and git committing!
