Okay, I'm starting to think this problem has got to be in my own code then.

Another question though: where's the Lua code for love.run on the repo? I wasn't able to find it.

Since nobody seems to have noticed slime's post, I shall redirect you there, he's right. Another thread can't call love.update, because it doesn't exist there. I realize that another Lua thread can't call love.update, but I imagine Love itself could do such a thing. At some point I'm going to have ...

Guess I wasn't very clear with my original question... I'm not asking if I should call Love.update(); I'm not that crazy!

Rather I want to know if there's ever a case where Love itself will call Love.update() from outside the main thread and/or concurrently from the same thread (main or otherwise.)

Is the Love.update() function assumed to be reentrant? Is it possible for this function to be called from multiple threads? I ask because in the binary module I'm developing I have a function getting called from every Love.update(). There was a bug that I fixed more or less by accident when I added ...

Update: I created a Lua module based on these pages: http://lua-users.org/wiki/BuildingModules http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaModuleExample Then I loaded that module with Lua's require function inside a Love game. And it worked! For debugging purposes, the binary library can be placed into the same fo...

The source might be, but binaries themselves cannot be.

Cool, that clears a lot of things up for me. Thanks for your help!

First things first, we intend to make the users aware of what they're installing, so a game can't install a binary module itself (there's an exception, keep reading). Binary modules are looked for in the folder which contains the save dirs, so %APPDATA%\LOVE on windows, .$XDG_DATA_DIR/love on linux...

Can you point me as to where I'd find info on that?

[quote="Roland_Yonaba"Just want you to make this clear... Why ? Cause (according to me), love.audio and love.sound work extremely well, actually. Maybe you want to add new functionnalities ?[/quote] Yup! A lot of new functions, actually. One option would be modifying love.sound and/or love...
