Re: Introducing Podball

Hi,

for those interested,

it is now possible to program Podball (https://sourceforge.net/projects/podball/) control modules in Lua!

I have made a simple example here: https://sourceforge.net/p/podball/code/ci/default/tree/bin/modules/lea/lea.lua

It is very dumb and simple. But you still have to beat it!

And I have other, better playing control modules, if you need a real challenge.

have fun,

Lars R.

Hi,

here's a (very short and simple) video of the game in action:

So would someone be interested in developing the Lua bindings?

It reminds me "button football" [1], a game played in Brazil.
