Can Lua + LOVE be deployed to all the following solutions?
* Xbox 360
* PS3
* DS
* Wii
* iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod)
Total deployment
Re: Total deployment
At this point, No. But in theory, if you were a good enough [whatever love was programmed with] programmer then you could likely do it.
I was actually interested in knowing if the developers would push towards iOS now, since Apple has relaxed its development "rules" to allow Lua to be used, as well as 3rd party Windows development. The only thing is, in order to test your games on the iOS itself you would need Jailbreak, or have an Apple Developer License ($99) which I wouldn't mind paying, if LOVE could do it.

Re: Total deployment
That's a nice idea. Love is programmed in C++. To get it onto to iOS you would have to extend it using a mixture of C++ and Objective-C (which is the main language used to make iOS and Mac apps).
As for the other platforms, I'm not sure what programming language or API you're meant to use for them.
I would have thought that even if Apple hadn't relaxed it's development rules you would still be able to use Love, wouldn't it count as an app programmed in C++ that uses some Lua scripts as resources?Ryne wrote:since Apple has relaxed its development "rules" to allow Lua to be used, as well as 3rd party Windows development.

Re: Total deployment
I'm not certain, but I know scripting languages in general were strictly forbidden, but I think that in Apples "relaxed" state, scripting languages INSIDE of engines are allowed.BlackBulletIV wrote:That's a nice idea.

Re: Total deployment
Wow, that's very strict, and rather illogical. But anyway, at least it's relaxed now.

Re: Total deployment
Someone actually worked on love with Apple's backends, thus making it possible for it to run on an iPhone (and I saw screenshots of it running in an emulator). It wasn't really advanced yet (it's a lot of work, obviously), and he's been busy, but hey, at least there's hope .

Re: Total deployment
So it was running in an emulator or something was it?
Re: Total deployment
I think he meant that he saw it in a iPhone emulator on the PC. Like in the iPhone SDK.BlackBulletIV wrote:So it was running in an emulator or something was it?

Oooh, the iPhone simulator. Got it. Well that's awesome then.
Re: Total deployment
Psh. iOS. What a joke. Use Android.
