LÖVE

hi all

i just begin to learn lua with two good books, one in french for beginners and the other
in english as it seems the official book

i would like to dev an immersive game with love and my question is : is it possible
to build something in coherence with the internet as youtube videos, video streams
and so on. by a mysql table piloted by lua

thanx a lot by advance

regards

stéphane

It's possible to build online games in LÖVE, although I have no idea what you're planning to do with video, which is something that Lua isn't very good at.

But if you're just starting to learn, I'd suggest something a little simpler first...

hello plu

yes of course i go to test web server by some lines and more
so it 's possible to get in relation with my sql

cool

i have some ideas so then thanx a lot for advices

stéphane

you can display video but it requires a library and that library only support a very simple format which Youtube and big streaming sites don't support.

making multiplayer and online elements are a bit hard, it requires a good amount of programming experience, but if you have that then try luasocket and LUBE

If your plan is to make something that people play in their browser like a website, LÖVE is probably not your best choice. I'd suggest PHP and/or html5 with Javascript for that, depending on what exactly you are building.

hello

yes i go to learn lua as i tried it under hollywood 5.3 on amiga os new gen systems

lua is very cool and i go to test sprites, collisions, sound under .mod or .xm modules
because of the size and the demoscene format i was used to

my projetc is big but i have courage to plan it during years, i get all time necessary
for so then going to test tiles and tiles maps and so on ))

@jjmafia : cool not necessary youtube vidéos, but i go to have a look at the documentation
about it on the wiki perhaps ?

@plu : not in browser because i want to make a client software with all tile in, in fact the idea
about the world to build is on paper, not yet the knowledge about it but i 'm used to
talk to demoscene coder to be help and adviced soon


thanx a lot to all for welcoming i go to ask you several points i think about
this cool software you are using

regards

no you will have to search the forums for that library.

re all

of course i go at first learning lua with the two books i own

so then lua 5.2 on the road for me

@jjmafiae : thanx a lot ! i will be back soon i hope to test software sprites and physics
but i go have a look at the video thread
regards

steff

i think you should get some programming knowledge before making a big multiplayer like this.

yes of course

objet oriented and so on

the fact is fontion() is now known
and then that i go to ask to a person
i'm used to speak with, to ask him some
advices and his point of view about the
project

but of course before trying to fail after all
i have to read and test all both books i have
about lua 5.2

regards to you

stephane


edit: i'm a lamer i canno't found the right thread about vidéo playing, ca you pleaz tell me where i could find it ? and if mp4 or else format
could be played from a server ? not in youtube streaming but on a private server ? thanx
