## Important Development Instructions

In this repository you will find 3 projects.

One of them is in the root and src directories of this repo, this is the project we're actively working on.

The other 2 are located at 

- ./lime-repo
- ./openfl-repo

Instructions:

Analyze the openfl repo, this project contains a build chain based on HXP that can be called from the commandline. We need to document how this buildchain operates when the following command is ran.

`openfl test linux`

We already know that it makes some calls to lime under the hood which has a similar build chain.

The current project is built to create an openfl app using the hxml build system and bypass lime's/ openfl's build system entirely.

We are currently working on asset bundling, this is proving to be a difficult task. Please document how openfl does this in a file called OpenFL_Build_Chain_Asset_System_Deep_Dive.md

## What we need:
- `src/Assets.hx`
    - define asset paths in a similar way to how openfl does this in the project.xml file. This will be done using a custom meta tag `@:Assets`
    - We will have a macro in `src/macros/AssetMacro.hx` to process these meta tags, build a manifest, and copy the assets into the `--cpp` output directory specified in `build.hxml`
- `src/macros/AssetMacro.hx`
    - Process `@:Assets` metatags defined in `src/Assets.hx`
    - Build manifest in a `manifest` subdirectory the `--cpp` output directory specified in `build.hxml`
    - copy the assets into the `assets` subdirectory in the `--cpp` output directory
- `src/ManifestResources.hx`
    - initialize the Asset Libraries from the manifest files
- `src/ApplicationMain.hx`
    - Initialize `src/ManifestResources.hx`
    - bootstrap the openfl application
    - add `src/Main.hx` to the application
