<section><p>Yesterday me and a friend have been trying to set me up with a development environment to start working on a small game.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>He’s already made all the big choices, and so the plan was for me to set up with Haxe, Heaps, and the HashLink VM with the IDE VSCode.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>We got everything running, except for the debugger link. We spent - no joke - over two hours until we found an explanation for the issue.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is an extension that is deliberately <em>hidden</em> from the FOSS version of Code. I was unable to install and use it until I switched over to the binary release of Code that Microsoft provides.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I can see no reason why that would be the case. Haxe is Open Source, GPLv2 and MIT licensed. Heaps and Hashlink are licensed under the MIT license.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>What possible reason could there be to gatekeep access to the main supported IDE solution behind proprietary software with built-in telemetry and very restrictive access to the way it works?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I can’t think of one. I feel like the Haxe Foundation should give a clearer explanation for setting the environment up.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Eventually I managed to get a tracker-free VS Code installed, by using <a href="https://vscodium.com/">VSCodium</a>, which is a fully FOSS distribution of VSCode. I also used a <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vscodium-bin-marketplace">patch from the AUR</a> to enable the marketplace and actually make things work.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Rant over.</p>
