Does anybody know how you debug with haxe/nme? I see no mention of it, which leads me to believe it's not really supported, which is somewhat understandable given that's it being compiled from haxe code into the various target languages.

You can use FlashDevelop's debugger when targeting Flash.

Nope. Stop fragmenting languages, we don't need another one except if it's revolutionary. There's some very good principles like the fact that it can compile to many languages but like CoffeeScript I just don't see the point. Want to do some c++ why not using it? Want to do some JavaScript? Then use JavaScript. There is just too much on the table when it comes to language compilation, I mean if the compiler itself ha…

This is just a bunch of unverified blanket statements and what-ifs. From my own experience, I can tell they don't apply to Haxe. Also, Haxe is revolutionary, but to understand that, you'd have to actually use it in production.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Revenue is mid 5 figure so far from desktop and flash versions, the ios & android version were just released but I'm hoping to break into 6 figures altogether across the game's total lifespan.

Did you use Haxe for the iOS and Android versions as well? It wasn't quite there yet when I checked it out a couple of years ago.

Yep, all from the same code base.

May I ask you regarding the percentages you get from the desktop Linux vs Win vs MacOSX sales?

I don't collect these stats, although probably should. From web visitors it's 70% win, 20% mac, 10% linux.

Thanks, I'll go and play with Haxe again then!
