raylib-lua
LuaJIT-based binding for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to learn videogames programming.
This binding is partially based on raylib-wren/wray.
Usage (raylua_s)
raylua_s is the script-mode binary of raylib-lua. Without any argument, you get into the REPL which gives you a minimal Lua shell that allows you to run Lua code from terminal.
You can specify a Lua file as argument to run the specified Lua file.
Usage (raylua_e)
raylua_e is the embedding-mode binary of raylib-lua.
This binary allows you to build standalone raylib applications from Lua code.
There are 3 ways to use it :
- zip mode :
If you specify a zip file as argument, this zip will be used as payload
application, this file expects to have a
main.luawhich is the entry point of the application. - directory mode : Similar to zip mode except that it automatically build the zip payload from the specified directory.
- lua mode : Build the executable from a single Lua file.
Using require in embedded mode works as expected but dofile and loadfile
may not work as expected as these functions load from a external file rather
than from package loaders.
Building / Updating Raylib / Contribution
To build raylib-lua from source, you need to take care that git submodules are imported,
