Open2D (Game editor/creator)

[jsmtux]

Hi all!

I'm posting about a project called Open2D. It aims to be a complete game creator, with lua as scripting language, that will eventually let you make all kinds of 2D games. Currently I'm working on platformers, but once I extend the lua API it will be much more flexible.
It is really fast, written in C++ and OpenGL.
It only works in linux atm, but it's still a work in progress.
I'll post the source code if you're interested once I've solved a little problem I have.



It's webpage is http://open2d.sourceforge.net/ it's not in english though.

Sounds nice! =)

I hope to see some source code!
You say it runs on linux, but is it linux only, or should it be running in windows (or mac) too?
Would be very nice if the official site was in English.

Thanks!
It's currently linux only, but all libraries are portable, so it's not too difficult to port.
The code is in a git repository:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/open2d/git.git open2d

In order to compile it you need to install some libraries:
sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev build-essential libglu-dev libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev libgtkglext1-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev liblua5.1-0-dev (if you are in ubuntu)

and enter this commands:
sudo ln -s /usr/include/lua5.1/{lauxlib.h,luaconf.h,lua.h,lua.hpp,lualib.h} /usr/include/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblua5.1.a /usr/lib/liblua.a
which will link the lua libraries so you can compile and run it.

It's currently in spanish but i'll translate it soon.
Thanks for your interest.
Feedback is really appreciated.
