I have books #1 and #3 and they're both excellent. As for #5, it's worth pointing out that the entire wiki is full of good stuff, not just the tutorials, once you've got your footing. At least one of the recent Game Programming Gems books had a Lua article, though that might be a bit pricey if you d...

Cool, good to know.

And yeah, though I wasn't specific about it, my question was in the context of once this has become official. (Likewise
with my own integration.)

Lua 5.2.0 (work) This could be a while off still (there's some outcry over the environment stuff and built-in bit library, for instance), but here's a heads-up so you can take a look. It doesn't look too drastic, but I'm curious to know if this would mean an update (assuming all libraries were brou...

I thought I saw a lib to do that a while ago, but I couldn't find it anymore.. Maybe one of these? http://cairographics.org http://www.antigrain.com Cairo has a few bindings: http://luaforge.net/projects/luacairo http://luaforge.net/projects/oocairo http://www.dynaset.org/dogusanh/luacairo.html I t...

This was posted about a half hour ago on the Lua mailing list: It's almost midnight on Halloween here. This is the perfect time to release long-awaited, almost mythical open source software ... ;-) Yes, here it is: the first public release of LuaJIT 2.0! Here is a link to the home page: http://luaji...

I needed this feature to port TacoShell [1] to LÖVE. You can take a look at it in the demo, if you want. It uses my own class system and a couple helper utilities, but nothing really esoteric. Here follows a poorly-summarized description. :P (So far I've only done the demo and some prototyping, so I...

After dabbling in Scheme/Lisp and Io, I've been craving some metaprogramming facilities in Lua. I find myself repeating code that could be abstracted away with macros. Has anyone else looked into this? You ought to take a look at Metalua . Others along the same lines include LuaFish (mentions a cou...

You're passing a table, v, as the first argument to draw, whereas I'm guessing you want a string. If you pass Tab[1] instead, you should get something like: 200*, 300, a rapidly changing number between 1 and 360, and then "lowe", all spinning really fast. If you want "Marlowe", y...

coroutine.resume() returns a boolean as the first argument, followed by your yield values. So you're doing something like love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(true, 38, 92).

If you don't need fine control, like checking the coroutine status and such, you may want to go with coroutine.wrap() instead.

This is most likely because you do "Object.clone()" and "Entity.clone" where you mean "Object:clone()" and "Entity:clone()". This leaves parent nil... and thus prototype is nil, so when your __index method tries to index that and finds it missing, it does an _...
