Title: PulsarLua Beta
Post by: Cybermonkey on February 24, 2014, 10:00:11 PM
Hi, and the waiting has an end. I decided to upload a beta version of pulsarlua for Windows and Linux 32bit and 64bit. As known from CMLua all version are in one package which you can download here (about 17 MB): http://www.egsl.retrogamecoding.org//media/pulsardemo/PulsarLuaBeta.zip
Now have some fun with PulsarLua, the next generation EGSL.

been working with it a little bit figuring things out, so far my only complaint, and I will be the only one making this complaint, is that the standard out print() function does not work.

I know one can simply print on screen but its just one of those things I always have done with lua, console open program ran from the command line spitting out debug info which is easily copy and pasteable into other stuff (like excel) to see where something is screwing up.

otherwise I am quite pleased with what I have seen so far, and keep up the great work!

...print() function does not work.

Have you tried io.write() instead? Or there is no terminal at all (I can't check it myself, cause Pulsar won't run on my distro)? Alternatively, you could write to the text file. It's not the same, but could be an option.

Well, I just tried it and the print() function works properly on Linux. It's possible that it doesn't work on Windows since pulsarlua is an gui app. Alternatively you can use the messagebox on Windows (or - apart from that - on Linux, too - so one doesn't need a console anymore ...)
Example:
Code: [Select]
messagebox ("Info","An error occured!")
