Since 11.0, LÖVE does fully support non-blocking TCP connections on Windows |
| Available since LÖVE 0.5.0 |
| This module is not supported in earlier versions. |
Implements a luasocket module for TCP/UDP networking. The luasocket module is bundled with love binary, but in order to use it, you need to require the module like this:
require("socket")
or even better:
local socket = require("socket")
Note: Since lua 5.2 LÖVE 11.0, the latter method is preferred recommended, as modules will no longer register themselves in the global space, instead they will return a table.
Note: When using blocking operations (network connect/read/write, or socket.sleep), the whole LÖVE main loop will be blocked, and it is usually a bad idea. So use only non-blocking operations if possible, or use it in a thread.
