Hey,
let's share very short game implementations.
I wrote this pure Lua, terminal based, two player RPS game today:
Code: Select all
choice, winning = {}, { r = 's', p = 'r', s = 'p' }
for n=1, 2 do
print( ("Player %d:\nType 'r' for rock, 'p' for paper, or 's' for scissors and press return."):format( n ) )
while not choice[n] do choice[n] = io.read():match"^[rps]" end
end
print( choice[1]==choice[2] and "Draw!" or ("Player %d wins!"):format( winning[choice[1]]==choice[2] and 1 or 2 ) )

Code: Select all
choice, winning = {}, { r = 's', p = 'r', s = 'p' }
for n=1, 2 do
os.execute("cls")
os.execute("clear")
print( ("Player %d:\nType 'r' for rock, 'p' for paper, or 's' for scissors and press return."):format( n ) )
while not choice[n] do choice[n] = io.read():match"^[rps]" end
end
print( choice[1]==choice[2] and "Draw!" or ("Player %d wins!"):format( winning[choice[1]]==choice[2] and 1 or 2 ) )
I added something to clear the terminal, so the second player can't read the first choice

Graphical snake in 73 lines of code. There are magic numbers in there, but it should be easily understandable.
Controls:
- arrow keys for moving
- Esc or q to quit
There are no borders and the game restarts itself two seconds after losing it.
My trimmed down version is just 51 lines of code long.

A few years ago I ported HAMURABI.BAS to lua, it's not "concise" but I figure it's worth a mention:
