Lua is annoying sometimes.

Post by zac352 »

I spent 3 days debugging my script to find out Lua doesn't support order of operations. :cry:
Then I got it to work, and it made up for the fail. But I can't upload it.
The extension bmp is not allowed.
:death:

I am not sure I can follow you on that one. Do you mean 6 + 7 * 8 evaluates to (6 + 7) * 8 =104 rather than the correct 6 + (7 * 8) = 62? If so, then you are clearly mistaken...

Why would you want to upload a bmp anyway? Use jpg or png.

And why do you keep spawning "Lua is <something negative>"?

What fail. Lua does fully support OoO.

And .bmp is terrible. Use .png instead, since it's better in every single way.

BMP is soooo 1998. You upload BMP to the internet, you need to have your internetting license revoked. Use PNG, JPEG or in some cases GIF if it's animated and small. But not the horrible uncompressed and bloated BMP. BMP is a relic from the early days of Windows that should have died along with PCX.

I tried both love and the Lua 5.1 console. Both came out with division coming before multiplication. >_>

I like png, but love forces me to save in either bmp or tga. :halloween:

Because I haven't used it in a while, and I'm noticing how simpler (and thus lacking in features) Lua is compared to C++.
Although I do admit coroutine.wrap and coroutine.yield are really, really useful. :P

MMm.. I'm assuming you are refering to saving screenshots.

Robin, bartbes: Is that still correct? Only bmp and tga in screenshots?
