Hxwerks

Haxe bindings and tooling for Leadwerks 5 Lua scripts: type-safe externs, entity scripts with editor properties, and a single compiled Main.lua bundle.

Status

This is experimental tooling, not a production-ready product. APIs, build output, and macro behavior may change without notice.

Bindings coverage: Many extern classes, methods, properties, and constants are mapped, but some may be missing or incomplete. Always cross-reference with the official Leadwerks 5 Lua API documentation. If you encounter a gap, the Haxe externs are straightforward to extend — pull requests are welcome.

Requirements

• Haxe (Lua target)
• Leadwerks 5 project with scripts under your game’s Scripts/ (or equivalent) folder

Quick start

haxelib dev hxwerks /path/to/Hxwerks

Scaffold a minimal project (creates build.hxml and src/Main.hx in the current directory):

haxelib run hxwerks init
haxe build.hxml

That writes Main.lua next to build.hxml and generates entity wrapper Lua under Entities/HxGen when you define classes extending EntityScript.
