If you follow me on Twitter, you probably already heard all about my project, Foxhole for Starling. It’s a set of UI components built on Starling Framework. Though originally designed for my mobile games, I’m working hard on them every day to expand the capabilities for use in a wider variety of scenarios.

A few Foxhole controls skinned for Rivers of Olympus

I released the source code a few weeks ago, with no documentation at all and only a brief mention in the announcement for my game, Rivers of Olympus. Immediately, I received a number of requests for more info and general interest in giving the components a try. With the pressure on, I spent a week adding some much-needed features, creating some example code (including a skin, which I left out at first), and finally adding a little API documentation. Things have finally settled into a bit of stability, so I thought I’d make a more formal announcement of the Foxhole for Starling project now.

Here are a number of important links to get you started:

• Github Repository

• Wiki and Tutorials

• In-Browser Demo of the Kitchen Sink Example

• In-Browser Demo of the Layout Explorer Example

• Example Projects and Skins

• API Documentation

• Bugs and Feature Requests

• Official Foxhole section on Starling Forum

Please don’t hesitate to send feedback. I’ve been having a ton of fun working on Foxhole for Starling, and I’d love to continue making it better for everyone. Enjoy!
