Pulsar2D is still alive ...

Nice work, Mark.
Translating from EGSL can be tricky.
The color command now has 4 numbers, instead of 3.
If you do like I did, and make the last number a 0, you will get a blank screen.
That Geany program is a trick to use. Some of those buttons on it needs to be set up and I am still working on it.
The file, filetypes.lua needs to be put in the geany data folder. That gives it plenty of color.
I don't know how, but clicking on any .lua file, runs it.
I will try later to make an EXE
Bereb:
Nice !
It was not too hard to modify some EGSL scripts, functions are nearly similar, except for few details.
@Rick3137: the 4th number in color commands corresponds to transparency (alpha channel) ; 0 is total transparency, 255 is opacity. It's very usefull.
There is just a little problem with the current window: after it had been reduced or overlapped, it does not refresh its content (whereas EGSL did).
Bereb:
Another remark (if it could help) : for same scripts, EGSL is a bit faster than Pulsar2D/PulsarLua ; there is a difference of 0.3 to 0.4 seconds (in favor of EGSL)

For refreshing the window you need always to do a sync().

Do you have an example?
EDIT: I just tested the fractals.lua; see for yourself. Pulsar2D is faster (the mentioned 0.3 seconds). Do you use a hardware accelerated graphics driver?
