Recently we have broken down lists of 3D game engines that use the C++ language or C# language as a programming language for game logic.  Today we are going to look at game engines using the Lua programming language.  This doesn’t mean the game engine was created using the Lua language, instead we are covering [...]

LÖVE, Corona SDK, and Amulet are probably your best bets out of the 10 options considered. "Very good documentation" is the primary reason people pick LÖVE over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision.

Этот материал продолжает серию публикаций, основанных на докладах, которые мы сделали на конференции Games Gathering 2017 в декабре прошлого года. В одном из док...

The design of a programming language, as that of any other artifact, entails many tradeoffs involving conflicting requirements. Different languages solve these tradeoffs in different ways, making each more appropriate for some scenarios and less attractive for other settings.

Lua has its own set of goals, which guides its design. This set prioritizes embeddability, small size, simplicity, and portability. (There are other goals, too, such as performance and ease of use by non-professional programmers.)

In this talk, we will discuss the impact of this set of goals. We will see how these goals impact the language itself, how it impacts its uses, and how it impacts its suitability for different application domains.
