Hi all,
I was looking into ways to write a GUI application for my students using Lua. I have a pretty clear idea of the features to be implemented. I just need the Lua core math library (to run computations under the hood), while the GUI part will handle the rendering, and perform some basic plotting.
The only concern is how to write the GUI itself. Ideally, i would like a pure Lua solution.
After digging in the Lua ecosystem, I came to the conclusion that IUPLua and WxLua were the most popular solutions. I decided to go with the former, for its apparent simplicity. Also, special thanks to the handy introduction written by S. Donovan[1] - hats off, sir!
I am using LuaForWindows, which is shipped with SciTe. Alas, Scintilla is not the best choice (IMO) to design interface with IUPLua, since I miss the some features of an IDE : debugging, syntax highlighting, code completion, etc.
Maybe I am asking too much (let me know), but also, maybe I did not dig enough.
