Röckdöt IntelliJ Plugin - Create new Dart+StageXL+Röckdöt projects with ease!

About

The purpose of this Plugin for IntelliJ is to take care of ALL THE THINGS required to start with development of Röckdöt projects right away.

The Röckdot family of libraries for Dart give you

• pixel-precise control over the html CanvasElement (2D and WebGL) through StageXL, the Flash DisplayList API for HTML5, written in Dart
• a blazing fast, industry proven IoC/DI/MVC+Command framework based on Spring
• smart UI lifecycle management
• a codebase that has its roots in Pure ActionScript, and has been in continuous development for about six years (2008 - 2014),
• a codebase that has served millions of pageviews in individual web apps, microsites and specials for brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Nike, and Nikon.

With Röckdöt, you write apps as well as games (or a mix of the two) in Pure Dart. No HTML, no CSS.

Demo.
