⭐️ Github samples

Besides the samples you can run online on the Heaps site you should try the many samples from the github repository. There are many samples that haven't yet been added to the site of Heaps. The samples are already in your Haxe's Heaps folder on your local machine: HaxeToolkit\haxe\lib\heaps\git\samples. When compiling the all.hxml file all samples should get compiled (which currently takes about 227 MB of disk space).

Sidenote (Windows): When using HashLink you can run them very quickly when adding HashLink to your right mouse menues.
