AS3 HUD/Console logging library built on top of foxhole-starling.

Logi

Introduction post

Logi is a small AS3 project which allows the user to display the trace on the screen as an overlay.

There are two modes of display:

• Console - can be shown/hidden and looks like a regular commandline prompt
• HUD - when the console is hidden, traces appear for a limited time on the screen.

Logi is built on top of Feathers so you’ll need that.

Simplest way to start using Logi is to include the Logi/src/ as a source path in your project.

Creating (in a Starling Sprite, after it’s added to stage):

var logConsole:Console = new Console();
this.stage.addChild(logConsole);

Showing the console:

var logConsole:Console = Console.getMainConsoleInstance();
logConsole.isShown = true;

Usage:

log(“Just like the good old trace... ”, 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 );

Create with custom settings:

var settings:ConsoleSettings = new ConsoleSettings();
// Disable HUD display:
settings.hudEnabled = false;
var logConsole:Console = new Console(settings);
this.stage.addChild(logConsole);
