Thanks for the Wise words!  :)

LuaX has had SDL_gfx at least for two years or so. No contributions needed there, as far as I would know.

It would help if L-28C would describe, what exactly is "not satisfying" about using it. Maybe my contact info in the package is outdated; this is where to reach me currently.

ps. and if L-28C is reading... I personally like real names, R2D2 and 3CPO are excused. ;)

Hello everyone!
Okay, I know of a couple ones named LuaSDL, another named LuaX, and I think I've seen some others... But none satisfies my needs. I need SDL, SDL_image (or at least ability yo load transparent PNG's), SDL_gfx, SDL_mixer, and, well, you get it, a complete package. Is there something like this? If not, can someone explain why it is so hard? Why not just use that toLua program?

In Free (Libre)/Open Source projects, users are encouraged to contribute to improve the projects. You can grab LuaX and add SDL_gfx, for instance, then contribute your changes to Asko Kauppi so that others can benefit. We aren't paid, and we don't have a lot of time, so don't expect people to provide service to you. Instead, we hope that you will, in turn, add your efforts to make projects a little bit better.

Thanks in advance... I can use an alternative solution, but this would be better.

No big deal. In a FL/OSS community, valuable members are those who contribute. So, I now hereby encourage you to try your hand at extending one of the existing projects that suit your needs.

HTH,
