HAXE: Haxe is a high-level cross-platform multi-paradigm programming language and compiler that can produce applications and source code, for many different computing platforms, from one code-base. It is free and open-source software, distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2, and the standard library under the MIT License.

Haxe includes a set of common functions that are supported across all platforms, such as numeric data types, text, arrays, binary and some common file formats. Haxe also includes platform-specific application programming interface (API) for Adobe Flash, C++, PHP and other languages. OpenFL, Kha, Heaps and Flambe are popular Haxe frameworks that enable creating multi-platform content from one codebase.

Code written in the Haxe language can be source-to-source compiled into ActionScript 3, JavaScript, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Python, Lua and Node.js. Haxe can also directly compile SWF, HashLink and Neko bytecode.

Paradigm: A typical example or pattern of Something; a pattern or model.

Digital rights management (DRM) schemes are various access controltechnologies that are used to restrict usage of proprietary hardwareand copyrighted works. DRM technologies try to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works (such as softwareand multimedia content), as well as systems within devices thatenforce these policies.

OpenFL is a free and open-source software framework and platform for the creation of multi-platform applications and video games.[5][6] OpenFL applications can be written in Haxe, JavaScript (EcmaScript 5 or 6+), or TypeScript.,[7] and may be published as standalone applications for several targets including iOS, Android, HTML5(choice of Canvas, WebGL, SVG or DOM), Windows, macOS, Linux, WebAssembly, Flash, AIR, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Wii U, Tivo, Raspberry Pi, and Node.js.[8]
