My work done

Currently done (not yet released) :

stringimprove (lib) (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)

Goal: be able to support a string matching with glob pattern (like "*.txt").

tablesort (lib)

Goal: be able to make a for loop with keys on arbitrary/custom order.

bench (lib)

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)

Goal: run a start, some code, stop, see the time between the start and stop (in microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, ...)

My Todo list

repair 2nd computer and run the test on windows and linux

script to package directory to .love file

from ruby to lua or bash version, see http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=26001#p26001

random lib

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)

jailfunc (lib)

Goal: be able to allow/deny access of library or function (like os, io, require ...)

jailfs (lib) / jailnet (lib)

Goal: be able to filter that is allowed to read (and write) on file system access, but maybe also over the network connection (filter the ip:port like simple firewall)

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...)

gameconf (lib)

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

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.

input layout

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

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 exemple:

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.

fakelove (see here)

Others idea projects :

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.
