Sweet! I made a much crappier version of this exact thing about forever and a half ago. I will totally be using this.
Something along these lines really out to be included in the love 2d library itself. You could just set a debug flag and have a nice little console on non-Windows systems. Unless that has changed in the last year or two and now there is standard console output, that is.

This has been of tremendous use so far!
Due to my inherit nature of laziness I've always hated having to to switch focus to console,, then back again, this has solved that and made my life a little easier

Thanks for your appreciation, I'm actually working on an update with auto-completion functions and a few other things, it will be released soon

Hope this project is still in production.
Is there a way to see the stack trace of an error as well?
Any plans for allowing automatic logging to a file?

The problem with my projects is that nearly no one ever gets finished, somewhy.. However, since it's easter this week I'm aiming to do some work on this
We'll see if I can get something working..

If it helps to motivate you I'd like to say that this project can easily become the most widely used "library" of anything in LOVE as it helps out any and every project. There's no way effort on this project will get wasted or forgotten.

I found some things:
Line 81:
Code: Select all
local index = tonumber(string.sub(str, 2, string.len(str)))
This could be
Code: Select all
local index = tonumber(str:sub(2))
Code: Select all
if not love.quit then
xpcall(function() quit = love.quit() end, _Debug.handleError)
end
This calls love.quit() if it doesn't exist.
skipEvent is not used.

I've uploaded an unstable version of this containing some new features/fixes, which can be found in OP or
here. It features:
- Auto-complete early testing
- Small fixes (thanks Robin
)
The stacktrace won't probably be do-able, because of the error catching interface in lua, if I print a trace it will only show a few lines telling it couldn't be traced. However, I might add some autoscrolling features when the list is at the bottom.
Also, the auto-completion will later be toggled between the options in some way. Since the up/down arrows will be used for command history I will not be able to use them, if someone has an opinion of what key(s) they prefer I'd be happy to know, otherwise I might just use tab. There will also be drawn some box so the proposals doesn't go into long outputs, making both unreadable.
EDIT: This fix also includes fixing of a bug which drew all the lines below the visible ones, causing huge FPS drops.

When I include this in my project, I get the debug console but I seem to lose all the behavior in my love.keypressed() function. What's the proper way to integrate this into a project that already has keypressed/mouse behaviors?
