A list of repos and libraries made with the purpose of extending HaxeFlixel's capabilities. One day, these may be officially incorporated into HaxeFlixel, but for now they serve a niche demand on their own.
A library of extensions, utilities, and other helpful classes for making games quickly in haxeflixel! There's also a framework agnostic version simply called [Zerolib](https://github.com/01010111/zerolib)
djFlixel is a small library with some helpful tools for HaxeFlixel, including a multi-page menu system, keyboard/gamepad helpers, and very fun effects.
A repository made by [CheemsAndFriends](https://github.com/CheemsAndFriends) and [DotWith](https://github.com/DotWith) made for playing all spritesheet formats and the mysterious but interesting export called `Texture Atlas`
Flixel Depth is a fun 3D hack for making orthogonally 3D looking games using haxeflixel. It does so primarily by offsetting sprites according to the camera's current angle and scaling the primary game window down. This is NOT real 3D, you will still be making a 2D game, so expect a lot of edge cases!

An advanced bitmap based image editor that has many capabilities similar to commercial software. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.
With an easy-to-learn but powerful set of tools, Paint.NET can be used for photo retouching, tilemap editing, pixel art editing, and so on. It contains advanced features such as levels and curves editing, noise addition and reduction, fractal and Perlin noise generation and more, but can also be used as a simple image editor.

Aseprite is a program designed for drawing pixel art. It has layers, animation tools, tile map tools, blend modes, atlases, and many more useful features. It's not free, but it's a favorite for many developers.
ShoeBox is a free Adobe Air based app for Windows and Mac OS X with game and UI related tools. It has many utilities that make asset management easier, such as [sprite packing](http://renderhjs.net/shoebox/packSprites.htm), [sprite extraction](http://renderhjs.net/shoebox/extractSprites.htm), [texture ripping](http://renderhjs.net/shoebox/textureRipper.htm), [bitmap font creation](http://renderhjs.net/shoebox/bitmapFont.htm), and more.
Texture Packer does one thing very well - it packs several sprites into one large image to help reduce load times for your game. It's easy to use and easy to integrate with HaxeFlixel. [This demo shows how to use a TexturePackerAtlas](http://haxeflixel.com/demos/TexturePackerAtlas/).
Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It is meant to be used for editing maps of any tile-based game, be it an RPG, a platformer or a Breakout clone. [This demo shows how to load a Tiled map](http://haxeflixel.com/demos/TiledEditor/).
Ogmo Editor is a generic level editor for indie game developers who use Windows. It also happens to be free and open source. The editor is built to be reconfigurable, so you can set it up to work well for your game project. [This HaxeFlixel tutorial](http://haxeflixel.com/documentation/part-v-tiles-maps-and-collisions/) demonstrates how to create a simple top-down level with Ogmo.
LDtk is a level editor created by the lead game designer of [Dead Cells](https://store.steampowered.com/app/588650/Dead_Cells/). This editor has some extra features work nicely with Haxe and HaxeFlixel, and focuses on being easy to use. [This tutorial](https://goop.wtf/2021/06/05/loading-ldtk-maps-in-haxeflixel.html) shows you how to use LDtk tile maps with HaxeFlixel.
