Re: Killa: a new scripting language for Love 0.8.0

I just found this and I want to say, this project is brilliant!! Programming with Lua was beginning to seem frustrating, and then this graceful language lands into existence! I'm a bit confused as to how to start using it though. My questions are: 1) Is Killa stable enough to be used for a commercia...

Re: Lua auto-complete?

var is not a keyword in Lua. It's local . ;) That doesn't help. If I do: local myXVariable = 2 --Then later if myXvariable <= 10 --won't work. Won't throw an error. Whereas var myXVariable = 2 if myXvariable <= 10 --Should throw an error because it wasn't declared Killa may be of interest. Oh god. ...

Re: Lua auto-complete?

I was considering attempting to make my own version of Lua with brackets for everything, that would first compile to Lua, removing the brackets and placing indents where appropriate then compiling that Lua file. How hard/practical would that be? Perhaps someone could make a stricter version of Lua....

Re: Advanced Level Editor

I'm pretty new to Love and Lua as well so take my advice with a grain of salt. I don't think it would take an insane amount of work to build something like that. In fact I think Love would make it easier (but when I say easier I'm comparing it to making your own level editor in C++) I don't see why ...

Re: Lua auto-complete?

So it looks like due to Lua's nature, this is pretty much impossible unless you custom-tailor your own plugin to work for your specific code structure, but I'm not sure if that'd be worth the time and effort. But hey, if everyone else can live without it, I guess I can too. I was considering attempt...

Thanks for the heads up, changed it.

Lua auto-complete?

So I've been slowly getting the hang of metatables and whatnot in order to code in OOP. The one thing I can't seem to get working is that, assume I got my "class" set up and made an instance of it and set it as my metatable and everything. Now I want it so that, when I type: MyObject. It s...

Re: .love files working, but cmd not detecting "love" ?

Thanks guys! It seems to work now. When I type "love" it opens that demo application. Typing "love --version" doesn't do anything though. This isn't really a big issue right? I just want to double check this won't bite me in the ass in the future or anything, since I can compile ...

.love files working, but cmd not detecting "love" ?

So I've just downloaded and install Love2d and have been prowling the wiki and whatnot, however I'm not sure if I installed Love correctly. The .love files from the demo's are working with no problem, however when I run "love --version" in the cmd it tells me that it isn't recognized. I'm ...
