Wrote a blogpost on writing an input handler in Lua

Post by undef »

Hey there!

I just released a tutorial/blog post aimed at beginners, describing how you can build your own flexible input handler in Lua.
The post has been published on lua.space, a blog dedicated to Lua where you could also publish Lua related material if you have something you want to share.

I hope this is helpful to some, feedback is very welcome!

Awesome tutorial, explained everything I needed to know about input handlers and by the way lua.space looks like a great site, I'd love to contribute to it sometime.

Great post, but it may have been better suited for blogs.love2d.org/

@Lyca: Thank you very much! We're always looking for contributors, check out the contribution guide if you have something worth sharing :)

@Rucikir: Thanks! It's something that can be used with any Lua engine, I just used the nicest one around for the examples :)

Nonsense. Yours is much better at explaining the concept and it's a really good thing to have on lua.space!
