Data Structures For Games

ds logo

The library contains parametrized classes that allow programmers to easily implement standard data structures like linked lists, queues, stacks or multi-dimensional arrays. The result is somewhere in between the C++ STL (Standard Template Library) and the Java Collection framework.

Documentation

Cross-Platform Support

ds supports the following Haxe compilation targets: -swf, -js, -neko, -python, -php, -cpp

-hl, -java, -cs, jvm are experimental.

Installation

Install Haxe and run $ haxelib install polygonal-ds from the console, then compile with $ haxe ... -lib polygonal-ds.

Conditional Compilation Flags

-D generic

Enables generic classes (adds @:generic meta). Nice performance boost for static typed platforms (-swf,-cpp only).

-D alchemy

Enables fast virtual memory for FP10+ ("alchemy memory"). Extra performance for Flash.
