Hi~~I think lua is a good language of OOP. I every love lua.But I cannot say English.Can you say Chinese?

Lua has metatables, but it's kind of laborious for OOP.

what the word "laborious " mean? Can you say Chinese?

勤劳意味着需要很长的时间和大量的工作。
Google translate ftw.

Hi Dreamtek,

Welcome.

I was in China last summer, but I don't speak Chinese. Your country is great.

If you are interested in OOP in lua, you can have a look at MiddleClass.

I wish my school had language classes other than Spanish. :/

(I've translated the missing chinese bits with google translator. I don't think google translator is available in China)

I'm also a ruby programmer.

Lua is simpler than Ruby.

There are no classes. Only "tables".

In lua, tables are Arrays and Hashes.

Code: Select all

 -- this is a comment
local array = { 'one', 'two', 'three' }
local hash = { a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 }

print(array[1]) -- prints 'one'
print(hash['a']) -- prints '1'
print(hash.a) -- this also prints '1'

-- functions can be defined like this:
function foo(bar)
  print(bar)
end

-- and they can be used as variables
hash[d] = foo -- this is the function!

hash.d('this looks like a method!') -- invoking the function

Tables in lua can something similar to ruby's method_missing for classes. For lua, it is named __index. __index is a metamethod. Metamethods are (a bit) complicated.

On MiddleClass, I created a special table called Object, and a function called class. You can use them to create classes without having to worry about metamethods.

If your English is this bad (no offense), maybe you could try finding someone else who speaks Chinese and English and is also interested in LÖVE?

Not that you can't communicate like this, but it's going to be slow and tough, so you might not like that.
