Yes, of course Killa is my personal project right now and it's not ready for game production, if we plan to make games with Killa we'll probably start from zero. There are no Lua libraries I think we

If that's your intent, the difference in array indexing (0-based vs. 1-based) in Killa seems likely to cause heartache... That's why simple syntax changes ({ } vs. end, "self" vs. "this", etc) seem _

194. Lua impressions from a scheme/f# programmer [was: Linking Lua in F#] (score: 17)

Author: David Manura <dm.lua@...>

This is worth a discussion thread in its own right, so I'm forking it. - Need for documentation: - Operator precedence: function call has the highest: a+b "c" = a+(b("c")), even if a+b yields a funct

195. Linking Lua in F# (score: 17)

Hello, I am not a low-level programmer at all (Scheme is my main language, then Lua, and I recently started F#), and I wondered whether there is a clear explanation somewhere of what I should do to m

ooo When a single goto exists inside a conditional block, some of the JMP's are superfluous: local x = 1 @a: if x > 1e8 then goto e end x = x + 1 goto a @e: -- equivalent local x = 1 while not(x > 1e

Hi List, Recently I've been experimenting with Fabio Mascarenhas' excellent FFI library Alien (version 0.5.0). It is very useful, but I found myself writing quite a few notes about things as they cam

But it is not an unambigous representation of the input. Personally, I favor the strategy "any byte not part of a legal minimal 1-4 byte sequence decodes to 0x1100xx, and values 0x1100xx encode as si

Can't tell if there would be any serious side effects if this was applied to Lua, but it seems to work for EEL, which is similar in many ways, but has a more C-like syntax. However, there is one thin

Hello, Please forgive me if this was recently addressed. I didn't find anything related in lua-l archive. We're trying to track down some memory growth in our game, and came across a difference betwe
