just plain old original lua for windows & new idea

link · Post by **link** » Sat Dec 24, 2005 7:11 am

does anyone know of any good sites with tutorials and stuff for lua for windows? I went to lua.org and lua-chia. but they dont have near as nice of tutorials as you do!!!

so I was wondering if you could direct me to some sites with better tutorials for lua. As far as I looked it looks alot more complicated than luaplayer.

on second thought, wouldnt it be better just to make luaplayer windows into a full windows version? your luaplayer is about 1000 times easier to understand than lua. all you would have to do is add full screen, and full keyboad and mouse support. I would attempt it but i have no idea how to compile luaplayer. i did see in the source all the stuff i would need to change though.

lua is implemented in luaplayer so, luaplayer = lua (with some function additions)
luaplayer for windows cant support all functions from psp cause 3d functions for example are only available on the psp-system;
possibly those functions could be mapped to opengl [not sure due i do not know that much about opengl]

note: currently luaplayer for windows uses480x272 px, which is not a foreign screen size, so possibly it could be mapped to 512x??? with some black bars... (NOT all gfx cards support this size!) next would be 640x480 (which would be quite a lot of black bars or ugly resizing..)
next step would be 1024x768 which would be possible with doubled pixels.
just some thougts... but i am not the freak for such mods :)

Lua with OpenGL for Windows platform is about to brew. So, please be more patient.

If anyone is interested in handing some help, PM me.

Need C coders. Source are available but no binaries yet.

Preferable knowledge with OpenGL at some level.

Thanks.
