I need some help when it comes to translating some of the demos on the flixel page to x-flixel. The biggest issue is that it seems rotated sprites aren't rendering the texture and it is a little frustrating. Have you thought about writing some documentation or tutorials? Anything would be wonderful help. Hey, I was wondering if I could talk to you about X-Flixel. I need some help when it comes to translating some of the demos on the flixel page to x-flixel.

If there's no Metro support at that point, then as far as I'm concerned, it's time to jump ship! Glad you enjoyed Aesop's Garden!

It seems like the reach-profile would be a good fit with the metro-style apps(?). Either way, libraries that help devs port between frameworks and platforms have really seemed to flourished in the last years. Projects like x-flixel (which i just learned about after reading this post) are going to help provide important leverage for indies going forward. P.S. Aesop's Garden was one of the first XBLIG games I bought, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work! It will be interesting to see what MS does.

We used your Flixel port and I have to say that it saved us some week of effort doing this! I hope you allow us to credit you!? (silly question I guess). But for the from I was thinking of a thing like: "Game powered by Flixel (Adam Atomic Saltsman) C# port (X-Flixel) by Ben Baird (Excalibur Studios)" What do you think ? Thanks again for sharing X-Flixel with the world :] And congratz for your 2 first games which are great! I'm a bit impatient to see your next one! Cheers Guillaume Hi Ben,

It looks doable without too much trouble, but other priorities are distracting me from X-flixel updates for the time being.
