Fixed - had to reinstall Cygwin but it's working now.

Ok, I found aclocal-1.9 and renamed it, and also did the same thing for autom4te, but now I get a new error: $ sh autogen.sh running `aclocal -I .' 12042 [main] ? (5844) C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal error - C:\cygwin\bin\sh .exe: *** couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D0000, top 0x6...

Hi All, I'm having horrendous problems installing freetype on my Cygwin installation. I can check it out from the svn no problem, but the sh autogen.sh fails and Im not sure what I'm missing. Output is as follows: $ sh autogen.sh running `aclocal -I .' autogen.sh: line 15: aclocal: command not found...

Hi All, What's the easiest way to convert a number to a string (for example an integer?) in C/C++? In the past Ive used itoa but I believe thats non-standard. Thanks in advance - it's been a while since I've done any C/C++ and this one has complete escaped me - it's also missing from my books :/ Che...

Just from PSP Updates today, LTEStudios are porting the irrlicht 3d engine over to the psp. Theres a Lua wrapper for the engine on other platforms - is that something which could be implemented into LuaPlayer?

see http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/
and http://irrlua.sourceforge.net/

You can do it with any version of LuaPlayer - you recompile the player itself to load your application when it starts. Seeminly it's in this documentation for the LuaPlayer source.

I asked the same question a while back (and the search you need to do isn't particularly obvious). However, if you want to hide your code, your only option as I understand it is to compile it into a version of the player manually. Seemingly there are hints on how to accomplish this in the docs with ...

Nevermind - I see from Fanjita's site that both 14 and 16 work.

Cheers,

Hi All, Anyone succesfully running Lua on a PSP with FW 2.6? I've got a spanky new UMD of Lemmings which I'm itching to play, but it'll mean going from 1.5 to 2.6 I've previously read that v13 will run on 2.0 via the GTA exploit? Just wondering if anyone has any wisdom before I succumb to the lure o...

Koba- your code is working correctly - if hl1 == 1 and you then set it to 2 then on the next if statement hl1 == 2 evaluates to true. You'll need to use elseif rather than a new if statement ie: if pad:down() then if hl1 == 1 then hl1 = 2 screen.waitVblankStart(10&...

use

local data = file:read("*a")

it'll load the entire file in binary into the data variable.

There's more info at http://www.lua.org/pil/21.2.2.html on the lua site proper.

screen:fillRect(10, 10. 200, 150, color)

should be

screen:fillRect(10, 10, 200, 150, color)

You've got a period after the y coordinate which should be a comma.

Yeah, I did, just didn't use "protected" :) Dug it up now, thanks.

Hi All, Anyone have any cunning ideas on how to protect the main source file for a lua app? I'm currently rattling through a little RPG which I'm coding and I'd quite like to prevent end users from easily changing the source. If it's left as is, it'll be woefully easy for someone to edit the source ...

Its a bug in the Windows player - I reported it previously, hopefully a fix is not too far off! :)

Hi All, I'm using the windows lua player to code up my app without having to copy over to the PSP all the time, but I can't get the controls to work correctly. My test program (included below) produces the following results for the following keys: a, s, q & w all work as described ie sel, start ...

DOH! My humble apologies. I'll rtfm twice next time. :)

Thanks nevyn!

Hi All,

I've been right through the Lua docs, and I can't find any way to exit a function prematurely. Is there an exit or other keyword which I'm missing?

Ta,
S.

Many thanks Shine, I wait the PC version with bated breath :) (luckily I'm away until next week so I won't be able to do anything until then anyway). Anyways - I've finally knocked up a test dungeon crawler to test out a few ideas for a game I want to do (a Bards Tale clone) in Lua. Basic screenie: ...

Managed to get my head round most of it now thanks to the examples above :)

Is there any way to test out the script on the PC? Copying to the PSP and running through the menus to test stuff is getting a little tedious! ;) I've tried it with the PBP emulator, but no joy.

Oh, by the way, does the Lua Player run on the PSP ELF emulator?

Doh! I'll go grab it now :)

Hi, Slopey. Actually, I was fiddling around with something like that just last night. I used a copy of Bitmap Font Builder to make a font and wrote some Lua code to make a 'fontOut' routine. http://www.kinsmangames.com/files/LuaText.zip It does word wrapping :) Cool - that's a more elgant example o...

First up - many thanks to Shine for the Lua stuff - i can finally code something on my PSP!! :) Anyway, could somone tell me if it's possible to use Lua to print text to a specific location? I'm looking for a text equivalent of void printDecimal(int x, int y, int value, int color) if that's not curr...
