NOTE: This engine is abandoned! If there are any bugs or glitches, they'll be left unfixed. I'm keeping it up for archival purposes and because some mods have used it.
Modified version of Psych Engine adding more stuff, most notably higher key amounts, time signatures, and Hscript support.

First, you need to install the latest Haxe and HaxeFlixel. I'm too lazy to write and keep updated with that setup (which is pretty simple).
- Install Haxe
- Install HaxeFlixel after downloading Haxe (make sure to do
haxelib run lime setup flixel
to install the necessary libraries, basically just follow the whole guide)
You should make sure to keep Haxe & Flixel updated. If there is a compilation error, it might be due to having an outdated version.
You'll also need to install a couple things that involve Gits. To do this, you need to do a few things first.
- Download git-scm. Works for Windows, Mac, and Linux, just select your build.
- Follow instructions to install the application properly.
- Run
haxelib git discord_rpc https://github.com/Aidan63/linc_discord-rpc
to install Discord RPC. - Run
haxelib git linc_luajit https://github.com/nebulazorua/linc_luajit
to install LuaJIT. If you get an error about StatePointer when using Lua, runhaxelib remove linc_luajit
into Command Prompt/PowerShell, then re-install linc_luajit. (If you don't want your mod to be able to run .lua scripts, delete the "LUA_ALLOWED" line on Project.xml) - Run
haxelib git hscript https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hscript
to install hscript. After that, runhaxelib git hscript-ex https://github.com/ianharrigan/hscript-ex
to install hscript-ex. (If you don't want your mod to be able to run .hscript scripts, delete the "HSCRIPT_ALLOWED" line on Project.xml) - Run
haxelib install hxCodec
to install hxCodec for video support. (If you don't want your mod to have video support, delete the "VIDEOS_ALLOWED" line on Project.xml)
You should have everything ready for compiling the game! Follow the guide below to continue!
NOTE: If you see any messages relating to deprecated packages, ignore them. They're just warnings that don't affect compiling
Compiling to browser is very simple. You just need to run lime test html5 -debug
(remove "-debug" for official releases) in the root of the project to build and run the HTML5 version. (command prompt navigation guide can be found here)
Do note that modpacks and Lua scripts are unavailable in HTML5.
To run it from your desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) it can be a bit more involved.
(NOTE: Mac and Linux have not been tested yet and they are not guaranteed to function)
For Windows, you need to install Visual Studio Community. While installing VSC, don't click on any of the options to install workloads. Instead, go to the individual components tab and choose the following:
- MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest)
- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0)
This will take a while and requires about 4GB of space. Once that is done you can open up a command line in the project's directory and run lime test windows -debug
(remove "-debug" for official releases). Once that command finishes (it takes forever even on a higher end PC), it will automatically run the game. The .exe file will be under export\release\windows\bin.
For Mac, you need to install Xcode. After that, run lime test mac -debug
(remove "-debug" for official releases) in the project's directory. The .exe file will be in export/release/mac/bin.
For Linux, you only need to open a terminal in the project directory and run lime test linux -debug
(remove "-debug" for official releases). The executable file will be in export/release/linux/bin.
To build for 32-bit, add -32 -D 32bits
to the lime test
command:
lime test windows -32 -D 32bits
