Introduction

Start playing with löve in 2009 (v0.5.0) Is back in 2011 on löve 0.7.1.

Projects is to rewrite my "jail" project (see [love-master project (jail, ...)])

My Todo list

• repair 2nd computer and run the test on windows and linux
  • Status : in progress

• random lib
  • Status : Done, not released yet
  • A simple random generator with safe (re-)initialization.
  • Inspired from http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2748
  • Idea: Using a seed with current random try.
  • Sample: function init() math.randomseed(math.random()*os.time()) end
  • Goal: You will be able to re-init it without predictability problem.
  • Note: include it in the jail (and catch the randomseed to forbid re-init)

• fakelove
  • Status : in progress
  • Goal: Build a compatible lua environment in pure lua

• luajail and lovejail
  • Status : in progress
  • Goal: made a secure (jailed) environment for running löve's games.
  • TODO: test the crack*.love attacks see this thread
  • Goal: be able to allow/deny access of library or function (like os, io, require ...) for the LUA part, and some love functions for the LOVE part

• jailfs (lib)
  • Status : in progress
  • Goal: be able to filter that is allowed to read (and write) on file system access
  • Feature: think about allow a way to load a case insensitive filename (usefull for stupid zip software that push upper case character... seen in some forum topics...)

• jailnet (lib)
  • Status : nothing done
  • Goal: like jailfs but with the network connections (filter the ip:port like simple firewall)

• gameconf (lib)
  • Status : in progress
  • Goal: having easy function to manage game settings
  • (FIXME: I don't remember what exactly but I have part of code about that...)

• LUSE : Löve user Settings Enforcer
  • Status : in progress
  • Goal: always keep control! be able to choose and enforce my user settings, allow or deny change on resolution/input grabbing/window-or-full-screen mode/no sound/etc.

• love-master
  • Goal: have a magic key (or sequence) to pause the game and got back to a safe environnement (like the love console?) to be able do ... what you want.
  • For example:
    • debugging (see memory usage, variable values, ...)
    • profiling (see stats about most called function) see ProfilingLuaCode
    • access to the safe menu to configure (simple-firewall, jailfs or others settings)
  • Part of this project is to catch and lock the love callbacks ...

• launcher
  • Goal: be bale to run my local love (with love-master, settings enforcement, etc.) have a way to choose what game is available. Run one of them in jail environnement.

Others idea projects

• love API patch (see love.screen ...)
  • - newFrameBuffer internaly catch error (return nil on error).
  • - add missing screen/graphics functions (getFsaa, getVsync, ...)
  • - add missing filesystem functions (getIdentity)
  • - and more ...

• input layout
  • Goal: be able to manage keyboard : French, English, ... also maybe manage mouse with more than 3 ou 5 buttons.

• multi-love (lib)
  • Goal: be able to run multiple (windowed) love program and link them together.
  • Goal: be able to link (over network/LUBE?) multiple love program and share actions.

• input layer (lib)
  • Goal: be able to virtualise inputs (to have more than one mouse, one keyboard) see multi-love.

Experimentation in Future

• AI project
  • Play with simple Artificial Intelligence, see UnLöve: Zombie Survival

• drawing with z index (see Snippers Skip list and Skip list Drawing Order)
• collision with circular zone
• drawing only if in zone : defined a target zone, exclude outside objets from drawing process
• proof of concept of webradio player

My work done

• lovemake.sh
  • Status : Done, released
  • Description: script to package directory to .love file my lovemake.sh
  • from ruby to lua or bash version, see http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=26001#p26001

Currently done (not yet released) :

• stringimprove (lib)
  • Status : Aborted, [FIXMEURL strong] is better.
  • (released : here) finally prefer using the BlackBulletIV's strong.lua lib
  • Goal: Like String_exploding string.explode(), be able to split string as separated arguments in table.
  • Improved String exploding Snippet see http://love2d.org/wiki/String_exploding .
  • New string.split and string.join functions
  • Conflict: [String_exploding http://love2d.org/wiki/String_exploding String_exploding]
  • Compatible: String_extensions

• glob (lib)
  • Status : aborted (seems useless)
  • Goal: be able to support a string matching with glob pattern (like "*.txt").

• tablesort (lib)
  • Status : Done, not released yet (still buggy)
  • Goal: be able to make a for loop with keys on arbitrary/custom order.

• bench (lib)
  • Status : Done, not released yet
  • Goal: a simple way (in pur lua) to run n times the same function and calculate the average time elapsed per iteration. Usefull to compare performance of 2 differents versions of the same function.

• chrono (lib)
  • Status : Done, not released yet
  • Goal: run a start, some code, stop, see the time between the start and stop (in microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, ...)
