List of User Contributions

Daniel

Starling has the luck to have a community of a lot of awesome programmers! 😃

Some of them have already created extensions for Starling, enhancing the framework in different ways.

To make it easy for every Starling user to find those contributions, I want to invite the creators to list their contributions here. Please write a short summary about the project and add a link to its main discussion thread and where it can be found.

Please don't start discussions about the contributions here, but keep them in separate forum threads! This thread should just be a clearly arranged way to find them.

I'd also like to encourage you to add your contributions to the extensions-section of the Starling Wiki.

Andreas Loew added SWF support to texture packer:
http://www.leebrimelow.com/?p=3080

[Update Nov. 2014]
The latest version of Texture Packer can even create ATF textures!

Shameless plug: anybody who purchases Texture Packer please use this link to do so — part of the price goes to the Starling project, then. 🙂

Hi,
I just extended the robotlegs as3signals extension from joelhooks to support Starling.
You just have to use StarlingSignalCommand and StarlingSignalContext, everything else is the same as described in the regular signal extension.

Hey,

This is a handy extension, it is a workaround the 2024x2024 texture limit for 1 animation.

can now be casted as normal TextureAtlas.

ImageBatch, an open-source Starling extension to draw a lot of images sharing the same texture (spritesheets supported).

Live demo here, 8k images animated independently:

FilterMovieClip, adds support for ConvolutionFilters.

Source:
http://www.emilj.se/starling/filtermovieclip.zip

Add it to src/starling/extensions/

In Starling.as,in function initializePrograms(), add:
FilterMovieClip.registerPrograms(this);

Usage:
var mc:FilterMovieClip = new FilterMovieClip(atlas.getTextures("name"),30);
mc.blur = 10;

Can be used with TweenLite:
TweenLite.to(mc,3,{blur:10});

You can add your own filters to ConvolutionFilter.as

I recommend using AGAL Helper when writing shaders:
http://blog.bwhiting.co.uk/?p=121

Only supports one filter to be used currently. Would probably be beneficial to have an easier way to add new shaders.

Thanks to bwhiting for AGAL help!

Hi there,

I've just created starling UML class diagram. Hope it helps a bit.
Feel free to modify it, source file is here. (To edit, use AS3 UML tool from Crocus Modeller.)

@Daniel - if you would like to use Crocus during your awesome job, just drop me a line. I would be happy to contribute project by giving you a free license. [update: license sent 🙂]

Cheers,
Filip

PS. I omitted adobe package.

I've recently started work on extending Starling with 'Fill' and 'Stroke' display objects. You can add arbitrary vertices to these objects, and they will get triangulated automatically for rendering on the GPU.

The ultimate aim is provide something similar to Flash's graphics API.

Josh Tynjala created the code for a "scrollRect" property in a sprite:

(Be sure to include the code fix a little down the thread.)

It's also the best place to ask me any questions, if you need some help using Foxhole in your projects.
