58. HaxeFlixel RPG: Source code

2014-10-29

Over the past 20 days I've been writing a tutorial series on creating a 2D RPG using Haxe, OpenFL and HaxeFlixel framework.

This is the final post, which contains links to the full source code and assets, as well as links to separate tutorial parts.

After following all the tutorial parts you will end up with a fully functional and extensible RPG.

This aim of this tutorial series was to acquaint you with the basics of the HaxeFlixel framework.

Let's take a look at the list of features that our game now has:

1. Character is moved by clicking on the tilemap (via pathfinding).
2. Camera can be moved around using the arrow keys or WASD.
3. Enemies with wandering and chasing AI.
4. Collectible health potions, which emit particles when picked up.
5. Turn based combat.
6. Experience and leveling.
7. Health and damage depend on the player's level.
8. Sounds effects.
9. Ability to save and load the game locally.

All of the source code and assets can now be found at the GitHub repository.
