Here's a more detailed (but currently incomplete) reference spec with partial grammar, based on Lua 5.3's reference: https://gist.github.com/phoenixenero/923c866e69cae0ff55cef1978ac7a11d I'm currently conflicted about using `:=`. Also, I used braces instead and ditched the macro system. Edit: Also I...

So anyway, here's a more fleshed out design:

I'm putting waaay too much thought about this (lol)

Your yellows are bleeding all over the place. Make sure your image fonts are pixel perfect.

Just a thought I had while doing other stuff. I want to see a language that's a near superset to Lua — existing Lua code can be compiled with no problems — while adding some useful syntax sugar. Arguably the most notable of compiled-to-Lua languages is Moonscript. However, there are some parts in th...

This is probably not the appropriate place to ask (I should check the lua-wiki mailing list sometime) but I'm wondering if someone has implemented a language that compiles to LuaJIT 2.0 bytecode? Alternatively a language that compiles to Lua 5.1 bytecode then decompiled as Lua code, then passed in L...

Alternatively: function love.load() ACCUMULATED_DELTA_TIME = 0 end function love.update(dt) ACCUMULATED_DELTA_TIME = ACCUMULATED_DELTA_TIME + dt if ACCUMULATED_DELTA_TIME > 0.016666 then -- approx 1 / 60 ACCUMULATED_DELTA_TIME = 0 -- run stuffs end end or: function love.load() ACCUMULATED_DELTA_TIME...

Atom editor takes ownership of all files in the project folder while the editor is open (thanks to some weird Node.js permission stuff), so that's probably the issue if you're building the .love file and it happens to be inside the folder you're working on.

You're using Atom? Close Atom. Then re-package the .love and run it.

Edit: By Atom you mean Github's Atom.io editor right?

Also (this is just a quick idea,) you can use an action queue[1]. After each keypressed, append the queue with the actions caused by the key press: for example, <spacebar> => append table with action "jump", <uparrow> => append table with action "moveup" so on so forth. Actions c...

Not to be an annoying d--- but did anyone actually read what I posted? I used @zorg's code and refactored it to use functions. Using more sensible function names. Untested, but I think maybe it works. Been a long time since I coded in Lua. -- Here be your rectangles -- They be located at the pixel c...
