Re: Killa: a new scripting language for Love 0.8.0

I updated Killa to support the ..= operator. (combined concatenation and assignment kind of += for strings) Also Killa now disallows the creation of mixed tables, you'll need to create dictionary tables with {} and array tables with []. Uploaded a fractal viewer as another sample, I'm sorry about th...

Is Flash/AS3 faster than Lua?

Hello list, I was porting my Fractal viewer from Flash/AS3 to Killa (my language based in Lua 5.2) when I noticed a very noticeable slow down in the Love counterpart. https://sites.google.com/site/exeqtor/mandelbrot01.png I was incredulous at first and translated the code to Lua to check if it was s...

Re: Killa: a new scripting language for Love 0.8.0

Got to poking Love2d version (I was playing around with console one, since print() is cool, you know) with a friend today - we've figured out that apparently current downloadable version checks for existence of 'main.lua' in folder you drag onto love2d executable, despite of executing code in main....

Re: Killa: a new scripting language for Love 0.8.0

As a note to author, it is rather strange to be able to access global.* scope as module functions, but not be able to reference such without 'global.' prefix Yes this is part of my design, I hate global variables and global state. Forcing me to think twice before using one is part of my mantra. So ...

Re: Killa: a new scripting language for Love 0.8.0

wow thanks for your feedback! I decided to go with for each (var k = 1 to 5) because in many languages I don't know if the for includes the upper limit or not. ie: ruby ... .., haxe .. , python range, Lua is inclusive, etc, etc. I need to check the manual every time I need to change languages.

Re: LÖVE on Ipad?

LÖVE for iOS is definately a popular idea,bUt i think it is impossible. Well, it's not THAT hard :D First, It doesn't have to have to be the Love engine that is ported to other platforms, there is already a cocos2d-x engine with Lua bindings working for iOS (and Android, Playbook and other esoteric...

Re: Killa: a new scripting language for Love 0.8.0

Hi MarekkPie, yes, my studio has decided to go full force with NME. Killa is more of a personal project of mine, I also use cocos2d-x, yesterday I integrated Killa on it, it was a bit more involved because I needed to modify a bit tolua++ but Killa is working in there right now :D, so I'm able to te...
