objects supported ?

[haringz]

Hi,

I just started experimenting with the lua player and I was wondering if objects are supported. Haven't found any code that uses objects.

By objects I mean creating your own objects.

And if not , is it planned , because I don't think you will see any serious game attempts if you can't create objects.

other than that , it rocks :)

I prolly release something soon, and better stuff if I can use objects :)

What do you mean by object ?? You mean Object Oriented Program ??
Well Lua support this kind of feature.

Code: Select all

-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- CObject
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
CObject = {}
CObjectMetaTable = { __index = CObject }

-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- CObject:new
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
function CObject:new() 
	local Table =
	{
		m_TextValue = "TextData",
		m_BoolValue = true,
	}

	setmetatable(Table, CObjectMetaTable);

	return (Table);
end

-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- CObject:doSomething
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
function CObject:doSomething()
	if (true == self.m_BoolValue) then
		self.m_TextValue = "OK";
	else
		self.m_TextValue = "CANCEL";
	end
end

-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
function main()
	local MyObj1 = CObject:new();
	local MyObj2 = CObject:new();

	MyObj1.m_BoolValue = true;
	MyObj2.m_BoolValue = false;

	MyObj1:doSomething();
	MyObj2:doSomething();
end

main();

I don't know for inheritance and other oop stuff but this can be a good start....

I often say this, but read the book. Especially the chapter on classes. It is a bit dry, but very helpful.
