RayTrace v4.0.0 is released

Well, this release is mostly an UI update. There is a major functionality update of this new release is the “Advanced” settings. If you are using the default mode, it will work as it was working previously.
With advanced mode, one need to change two things. One is the “raytrace.as” which comes budled with this application. Inside this file one has to put the connection name. This name could be any string, it could be your project name, version name or your name, but then remember this name so as to put the same name in advanced setting text input (thats the second setting). After that its as usual process.
The release version can be found here for direct download and use. The source code is up in github.

An IDE for HAXE and NME for every OS

The long wait is over! The search for a perfect IDE for Haxe and NME is finally over. Thanks to the hard work of Joshua Granick. He is still in development of this feature, but for me I found it perfectly alright to use it in my Mac OSX.
So the IDE is Mono Develop and making it a Haxe and NME IDE is just enabling the addin for it. Presently its a manual process but thats ok I think. The Addin is on the github.
Everything is just straight forward. Just a little thing on command line is to create a .hxml file in OSX. I am not sure if thats the case in other OSs. Navigate to your newly created project folder from Terminal and fire up the command below (where {projectName} should be replaced with your own project name)

haxelib run nme display {projectName}.nmml mac>{projectName}.hxml

Thats all to it. Just open up MonoDevelop and enjoy code hilight, code hinting and compilation from inside the IDE.
