Re: Looking for Lua Teacher

I know that there's hundreds of thousands of material at my disposal, like Google, Youtube, Lua forums, or even the reference manual for Lua. But i don't like working by myself. When i try to do it by myself, my thought process goes blank. The lua reference manual, said it yourself. There's also ht...

Re: Textured Polygons for All!

I highly doubt you'd get sued, the forum post itself strongly suggests that the user wants you to use their project. You can credit the user (because it's a nice thing to do). After hours of thinking and math, here's what everyone's been waiting for! ... I'm so excited to see what people will make w...

Re: clasp - 8 lines of class

I posted it for both feedback and announcement, and really thanks for all the suggestions and inspiration. but as you're aware you haven't figured out how to "do it decently" yet, it would be good to let people know that it's not ready for actual use. Well, it was/is in theory ready for us...

Re: clasp - 8 lines of class

It's not so slow that I'd give up the readability of objects for a few nanoseconds of performance. Parsing the whole class structure and copying down everything on inheritance is not much better, even if it only happens once in declaration. Just 3 levels of inheritance creates an unreadable cyclic f...

Re: clasp - 8 lines of class

I'm not that concerned about performance as it appears to be a bit faster than middleclass according to its performance test. Now, it isn't a real world scenario so I don't know if it's actually faster on heavily packed classes.

Re: clasp - 8 lines of class

Reading metamethods directly from class will break their inheritance on longer chains, because pairs() doesn't read the __index tree, which is mandatory for them to be inherited correctly. Of course I could manually check for each individual metamethod to trigger __index lookup, but that'd expand th...
