LDK. Sounds nice. :D


Glynnder has released v0.2 (Now a Beta!) of the Lua applications and games">LuaDevKit, adding some more functionality to this helpful development app. For those who haven't heard of LDK, this app can help experienced coders in making their own programs and games in the Lua format by letting them click and add common commands. For newbies, it's an interesting way to help master the art of Lua programming without having all the information spoon-fed to you.

There's also a Lua Player in his download, so you can preview the results of your coding as soon as you're done typing everything in.

As always, Glynnder's ready to offer friendly advice on our release thread for this app, so don't hesitate to say hello or ask for help. There's also some additional documentation on the official homepage for LDK, so you should also take a look at the offerings there. Enjoy the download, folks, and let us know when you've completed your Lua masterpiece. We may just post it here.

For LuaDevKit v0.2, Glynnder has made a couple of fixes to the system and added some other functions for people to try. Here's the changelog of all the new stuff since LDK v0.1:
  • 0.11ALPHA: Added useful links menu, with links to useful web pages- all open in your default browser
  • 0.12ALPHA: Shift + right click on a file to rename it
  • 0.13ALPHA: Solves issue with luaplayer windows files having to be located in C:/LDK- they now have to be in the same directory as LDK.JAR
  • 0.14ALPHA: Renamed cut-action, copy-action, paste-action & select-all in the edit menu to Cut, Copy, Paste and Select All, respectively
  • 0.15ALPHA: Preview can be run on any script in the PC
  • 0.17PREBETA: Adds controls list for preview and rough debugging- end user cannot see debug info
  • 0.18PREBETA: Fixed spelling errors
  • 0.19PREBETA: Preview and LDK 'process tied' meaning you can only close it by using the 'break' command in a script, or the escape button, this means that the process actually ends and frees up system resources- if you press the x button then LDK will be frozen until the luaplayer process is ended.
  • 0.20BETA: Captures the debugging information and prints it into the text box, amongst a few other fixes such as when you hit preview it saves the file, so you are testing you most up to date version etc...

most advanced coders don't use lua.

nice try

That's not true. Lua can do a lot, its just that it is easier to write a program in than C or C++ because you dont need to go through the trouble of compiling (the compiler takes about 3-6 hours to set up).
Lua is a great programming language, for noobs and advanced users.

Ok Lua is easier, alot easier, but can't do everything C/C++ can, its limited

 » no seriously nice try
lua isn't even a programming language; its a scripting language.

is there really any difference?

   Re: Glynnder (Unregistered) - 2007-01-06

ones emulated, one compiles, thats about it

 » Lua is good
Lua is underrated, with a little imagination you can come up with some great apps. The main thing is the end result should be fun and usable, and Lua meets this just fine. You are limited only by your imagination.

Lua is underrated, it can do a lot more than people think it can. Akthough I agree, it isnt as powerful as C.

What he didnt pick up on is that i havet budled the luaplayer.
You just click a button and a preview window pops up, then, in a box it puts whatever errors you have etc...

If thats the impression you get then we need to get a better blogger.

This could be for
a) The people without PSPs, click a button, and it previews
b) Newer coders, they don't exactly know all the codef
c) Experienced coders, what if they forget one?
d) Anyone, what if they dont want to have to keep going back and forth from their PSP to their computer.
e) Anyone, what if they want to have their errors printed out to the in the same IDE they are developing in....

And so many more things but i'll stop now cos i think i've won already :p
