I don't have much experience in programming or game development. Is this for me?
The book will start from the absolute HaxeFlixel basics and guide you step by step. You just need to be familiar with elementary programming concepts like variables, functions and loops.
I'm not good at creating game art, do I have to draw my own graphics?
The book comes with a full set of free-to-use graphical assets, sounds and music, which you can see in action above. You're free to use and re-arrange them in any way you want.
Is the book up to date with the latest version?
The book is up to date with the latest HaxeFlixel 4.8 release, and will be updated for each major HaxeFlixel release.
Is there a plan for educational & non-profit organizations?

Leonardo Cavaletti is a creative developer currently working in the 3D animation industry. Long time gamer and fan of old school games and pixel art, he got into the hobby of game development since a young age. After discovering HaxeFlixel, he used it to develop and release the arcade game Polaritron, and kept making prototypes and exploring the potential of this soon-to-be-favourite framework. He then decided to write this book to share his passion and knowledge of HaxeFlixel.
