Description

The built-in collision and physics system in HaxeFlixel has some issues and its performance is not very good. The simple physics system adapted by jeremyfa from Phaser’s Arcade Physics should be more performant and offer better compatibility. Is it possible to replace HaxeFlixel’s built-in collision system?
