MoonScript & love
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 6:55 am
Hi everyone,
I recently released a programming language that I made which compiles into lua. It's called moonscript. The homepage is here: http://moonscript.org and the reference manual is here: http://moonscript.org/reference and the code is here: https://github.com/leafo/moonscript.
I've used a similar project called CoffeeScript as inspiration for the syntax. Moonscript might be a little different compared to what you've been programming in, but after using it for a while I've found the syntax quite nice.
I've known about love for some time now and I figured it would be a good fit for moonscript. I've attempted to put moonscript directly into love, and it seems to be working. I added a special loader that searches for .moon files in addition to .lua files in the love project directory. It builds right into love, so there is no extra stuff to install.
I uploaded it to my github, https://github.com/leafo/moonscript-love (sorry I don't know hg). If there is any interest in using it I'll try to put together some windows/osx builds. Works great on linux at the moment.
Any input appreciated, thanks.
