LÖVE

I managed to interface my Arduino Uno with Love2D with a bit of Java.

Here is a demo:

Really cool stuff right here!
Any walk-throughs of how to do this?

I'll make one later. Stay tuned!

I have been hoping they would add serial support to love. I am told that it can be done with IO or something but I have never gotten it to work without the middleman program to read the serial data and send it through UDP to love.

As a microcontroller enthusiast i'm interested in this kind of thing. Does it use ffi? Or love script communicates to some other application as client?

You might want to take a look at this: https://github.com/cbrake/LuaSerialPort
It worked perfectly for me

Well, so it actually depends on FFI doesn't it? (=
And with Java mentioned i thought that Java-coded application sits on a VCP (that is created by USB-TTL chip on an Arduino) and then sends data over network to love2d. Nice anyway, i'm thinking about making some kind of IRL HUD for a game or maybe something else.

I found this library which works amazingly well, I had to make some changes to compile it, since the associated dll for Lua didn't have the same name as LÖVE's one but it was not that hard, I have an outdated .dll somewhere if someone is interested, and I would love to have an updated version since I would found it really useful
