Getting started #8

The current "Getting Started" instructions are needing a bit more information IMHO.

What I'm thinking would be do have a more complete "getting started" scenario involving having everything setup and running to create & launch your first Hello World in heaps.

That would be:

  • install Haxe (no much further instructions needed)
  • install Heaps (ok too, maybe a screenshot to showcase it :) )
  • install VS Code
  • install Extensions : Chrome debugger, Haxe Support , require restart VSCode
  • create a directory for project , create /out , /src and /res dir, put a sample Bitmap in /res and a Hello.hx in /src
  • setup project compilation : create hxml, create tasks.json (generated with Tasks / Configure default task)
  • setup project launch.json : create index.html page, use Chrome Debugger extension to generate launch options
  • compile & run !
  • any error ? ask Gitter
  • want to learn more ? read documentation / look at samples

We can add some more instructions for HL compile & run, I have started a VSCode extension that will support run (& debugger soon), I'll look at publishing it.
