Convert from other Coding language to lua

Post by Larsii30 »

Hey folks,

I just watched a timelapse video of leafo's ExoSlime game (which is awesomehttp://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-da ... w&uid=4321) and wonder how he write the code. I didn't know the language nor the converter nor how this works
but maybe someone could explain to me what this program is ?

Here is the video:

It's MoonScript, leafo's very own language.
Shallow indentations.

Thank you, that's a really impressive language syntex but it generates huge lua code
and make them nearly unreadable. debugging and getting help from other people if you
didn't know something seems to get pretty hard.

Well, you can try to reach leafo directly.
He seems to be active on Github, as he has always swift answers to any new opened issue.
