turbulenz runtime instructions?

bean

I'm trying to use the turbulenz runtime for spine and I'm a little bit confused. It seems to be a toy implementation of turbulenz's interface. For a real project, am I supposed to download turbulenz and integrate spine in somehow? If not, what docs should I refer to?

I'm trying to to add a background to the canvas but it seems like turbulenzEngine steals the context, so I can't use canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(). How can I add a background image to that spineboy demo? Thanks!

I don't think it's a toy implementation any more than the rest of the Turbulenz API, FWIW. I expect you'll need to use the Turbulenz API to do all your rendering, such as drawing a background. The same will be true for any Turbulenz rendering, not just spine-turbulenz. You'll want to look at the Turbulenz docs for the Turbulenz way of doing things, and then use code from the spine-turbulenz example for rending Spine skeletons.

FWIW, libgdx can deploy to HTML5.

Hi Nate, thanks for the quick response. I'm new to gamedev so community support + documentation is very important to me. If I want to stay in javascript land, what spine-compatible html5 engine is most widely adopted and supported? Turbulenz was the only one listed under "official runtimes" with javascript as the language. However, I see pixi.js thrown around a lot. What's most popular these days? Thanks!

Nate

Hard to say. Pixi.js does seem popular. It's not official, but I know they are putting continual effort into the pixi.js runtime.

But, why stay in JS land? 🙂

I got turbulenz to do what I want so I might stick with that.

JS because the rest of my project, including the server, is in JS, so it's less of a context switch.

If you're struggling with the turbulenz implementation, you might want to take a look at the PlayCanvas one.

I implemented the Spine 2.X version and once spine-js is updated to 3.0 I'll update it if it needs it. See the semi-port of Super Spineboy: http://playcanv.as/p/mcL5WM9r [PlayCanvas Project: https://playcanvas.com/project/371371/overview/super-spineboy]
