In case you didn't know, Tim is not a mac developer.

Really, only a lua using mac dev could port this to a mac due to complicated things involving libraries.

Who says I'm not a mac developer?

I'm not, but still.

Anyways, this can be ported to mac if you recompile the C code from the LuaSocket people into whatever mac people use for dlls.

So what Do they use? Because I'd really like to use this.

They use .dylib

Or .so in rare cases.

'Kay. Because I don't have a compiler I would worship as a god anyone who can compile the lua socket files into a .dylib format.

Compilers are free.

For the mac, xcode has the gcc compiler.

So, who here has Lua on C++ Mac development experience?

Post subject:  Re: Lord Tim's "IRC Scene"
Okay. I will get the compiler, but a step-by-step as to WTFHOW would be nice.

Should be similar to windows compiling:

    1. Get xcode for mac.
    1a. Get lua compile libraries.
    2. Get Eclipse, an IDE which should simplify things.
    3. Get the source code.
    4. Load the source code into Eclipse
    5. Configure Ellipse to compile into a dylib. <- Hardest part
    6. Compile <- Second hardest part
    7. PROFIT!!!

Or if you like the command line,

    1.Get xcode
    1a. Get lua compile libraries.
    2. Get source code
    3. Configure xcode to make dylibs <- Hardest.
    4. Use the makefile to compile <- Second hardest.
    5. PROFIT!!!

Or if anybody has cross-compiling experience, try use this for win/nix. Linux is somewhat easier due to the more code-oriented nature.

    1. Get an IDE and a cross-compiler. Please note that MinGW as far as I know does not cross compile. GCC is recomended.
    1a. Get Win/nix lua libs and mac core libs + mac lua libs.
    2. Get source code.
    3. Load code into your IDE.
    4. Configure IDE to cross compile into a dylib. <- Very hard
    5. Compile <- You might have some difficulties.
    6. PROFIT!!

hey if this works the way i think it does ,(dont flame me), wouldnt it be possible to do something like* multiplayer?




*i say like because you could like affect eachothers game, like !nuke would send a nuke at one of there bases.

Yes.

But there is no synchronization, so it's more like one of those mp tetris game where combos send blocks to the other guys.

It might work in a more suitable way if data gives lua access to game speed, the rng and control interface(aka having all the games on the same rng, same speed and shared controlls).

we do have access to setting the psuedo-random generator's seed with today's lua.
Author:  mail2345 [ Tue Mar 24, 2009 2:02 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Lord Tim's "IRC Scene"
What function?

Also, is it the lua rng or the physics rng?
Author:  Geti [ Tue Mar 24, 2009 3:00 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Lord Tim's "IRC Scene"
i assume both, but i havnt tested it.. actually, it looks more like it would just be the lua generator.
math.randomseed(seed) is the syntax...

Post subject:  Re: Lord Tim's "IRC Scene"
That's the Lua rng function, guaranteed.

Allegro (well, C++, actually) has it's own rand(); and srand(); functions.
