1. You can add -watch as an arg when running/testing a Lime based project (openfl, haxeflixel, etc.), and it will auto-recompile anytime there's a file change in any of your source directories.

2. Snippet for pixel perfect HTML5 rendering for HaxeFlixel.

   #if web
       // pixel perfect render fix!
       Application.current.window.element.style.setProperty("image-rendering", "pixelated");
   #end

3. You can use

   @:depricated()

   for functions no longer in use and put some text in the ()'s to tell yourself its depricated

4. You can use

   @:haxe.warning("WDeprecated")

   to disable deprication warnings or in the terminal use the compiler conditional -w WDeprecated

5. You can use

   haxe.PosInfos

   for things related to position in code, for example

   class Main {
      static function assert(cond:Bool, ?pos:haxe.PosInfos) {
        if (!cond)
          haxe.Log.trace("Assert in " + pos.className + "::" + pos.methodName, pos);
      }
   
      static function main() {
        assert(1 == 1); // nothing
        assert(0 == 3); // trace "Assert in Test::main"
      }
    }

6. Dynamic Functions can be overriden by just doing this

   updateScore = function(miss:Bool = false) { ... }

7. For defines -D value=any means it ends up any=any and

// looking for it being a bumber
#if (value > 5)

will result in an error.
