LUA Viewer

(1/2) > >>

SpawnHyuuga:
So obviously the LUA viewer is for viewing/executing LUA files - but what kind of files or where can we get LUA games/programs for use with Rockbox?

torne:
You would probably have to write them. Lua is just a programming language, it's not a system that there is a large body of games/programs written for already, and even if there were some they aren't going to be able to run on Rockbox since you need to use Rockbox-specific APIs to do any input/output.

Chronon:
If you look in the /.rockbox/rocks/games directory you can see that the Boomshine plugin is actually a lua script.

SpawnHyuuga:
Well I knew there wasn't much of a database, but I did search for things written in LUA and got a lot of PSP stuff. I'm just wondering if any of it could be converted.

torne:
Porting lua scripts for other platforms to rockbox is similar to porting things written in C for other platforms as plugins. The degree of changes required will vary depending what the script does.
