LÖVE

cloudsdemo : http://ghoulsblade.schattenkind.net/love-webplayer/
github: https://github.com/ghoulsblade/love-webplayer

WARNING: still incomplete, some of the love api won't work yet
notYetImplemented:ttf-fonts,spritebatch,framebuf,physics,threads,0.8stuff...
shouldBeWorking:newImage+draw,keyboard,quads,pixelFonts,printf,mouse,joystick,audio

goal : play games made for love2d inside the browser without plugins (webgl+javascript capable browser required)

usage: unpack .love file (rename to .zip), add the .js files and the index.html from love-webplayer, upload the whole folder to webserver, open in browser, play

tech : webgl for display, github.com/mherkender/lua.js to run lua code in javascript




EDIT: i guess we'll need love.web api next to love.phone/love.android soon

EDIT: if you want to discuss pure html5/canvas (without webgl), NaCl, flash or similar alternative tech or browser plugin, please make a new thread instead. I'm only interested in a webgl implementation and the others have already been suggested.

Very nice. I already saw very good code engines export to JS and with enough speed. Would be nice see LOVE do same steps. Congratulations.

Do you have any idea how long we've needed this?

First Löve Android.
Now a Löve WebPlayer.

What next ?

I think, one of the next Löve versions should official support one of these (or both) ports. Hopefully they are going official one day.

Now testing... ;-)

I think I could whip up a love.joystick and love.keyboard really quickly. I'd like to fork this and make a pull request. That sound cool?

sure, help appreciated =)
next i'll be working on :
* require/dofile/love.filesystem.load (needs some ajax magic)
* input : mouse + keyboard
* chew my way through love api stuff and test with a few demos/games
* no sound for now, will look into that later

So, why this isn't already done?
Good luck to both and for the project.

I cleaned the code up a bit and made dummys/stubs for all top-level functions.

main.js now has a few helper functions:
e.g. the javascript function call_love_keypressed (key,unicode) can be used to call love.keypressed(key,unicode).
This should help when implementing keyboard & mouse.

love.audio.js now has an example of how to bind objects (like audio source).
This should be a good starting point if someone wants to implement audio.

looking forward to pull requests on github

I'm using OSX. For now only working in Chrome. For my surprise not working in updated Safari. Also not working in Firefox 3.6 and Opera. In Chrome seems good.
