Hello,
I have began to develop an SFML binding to the
Lua scripting language. Since this was originally only intended as a test for my general Lua to C++ binding library
apollo, it is in a very rough shape right now (e.g. the graphics module is incomplete, there are probably lots of bugs, …). Anyway, it's already enough to run
a Lua version of SFML's Pong example.
An
executable demo (Windows + MSVC12 + Lua 5.2 with pong example and all required DLLs) for you to play around with is available here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1802511/os/lsfml-demo-lua52-msvc12.zip.
Run
lua.exe pong.lua from the command line in the demo directory to start the pong example.
The
source code is here:
https://github.com/Oberon00/lsfml/While it might currently not work (demo/alpha stage), this binding could run on Lua 5.1 ‒ 5.3 and is generally cross-platform (for MSVC12 and any platform with a recent clang or gcc at least) with a little effort put into it.
Also, as I teased in the title, a special feature of this binding would be (lacks a triviality right now to be actually usable) that it is embeddable in a C++ host application that uses my apollo library. This means that using this binding, you could easily add scripting to your SFML-based game.
Since I do not actually have an use for this myself right now (beyond demonstrating the abilities of apollo), I'm asking here if there is interest in this binding. If so, I may continue development.
