project setup with busted

I would like proposals what like a project setup could/should look like.

I got zerobrane studio and want to use busted for testing. i want to be able to build an artefact without tests. luarock is out of question as I am targetting a specific game extension.

is there anything in zerobrane supporting this? or getting close to it? I can well setup shell noscripts, but a more integrated approach would be preferred.

CRC32 implementation help

I'm developing a Lua interpreter with the Lua C API and want to implement CRC32 hashing. It kind of works, however, when I try to calculate the CRC32 hash of "test" it returns -662733300 instead of 3632233996 as an integer and FFFFFFFFD87F7E0C instead of D87F7E0C as a hexadecimal value. As a result my CRC32 hash doesn't match with the one generated in my interpreter. This is my C code for the Lua function, I'm using zlib for the crc32 function in C:

static int luacrc32(luaState L) {
uLong crc = crc32(0L, Z_NULL, 0);
const char str = luaLcheckstring(L, 1);
uInt len = strlen(str);
crc = crc32(crc, (const Bytef *)str, len);
luapushinteger(L, crc);
return 1;
}

Lua for gamedev and type system

i've been trying Löve and (first game framework that i have tried) and its sucks for me in some ways. Doing everything in keyboard is good less abstractions but it does not feel quite well cause of lsp problems (i assume) maybe it's just Lua being super dynamic, but I configured Lua LSP with LÖVE extensions and tested it on some sample projects I grabbed from GitHub. The code completion is kind of broken function arguments don’t show up, type info is missing, and it just doesn’t feel reliable. so i still want the game framework style development and i still want tightly integrated types.

Compared to Godot which have good integration good type system many tools but i wanna try new things and this type situation makes it rougher for me

Am I missing something obvious?

Can lua be used to distribute malware?

Someone forked my repo on github, I was checking out their version. When you download, it's not my project at all, but lua.exe and a 300kb text file for it to interpret.

Don't wanna run it, can I test in online or something? Wondering if I should report the repo.

Erro em um código

Comecei a menos de uma semana a programar em lua, estou seguindo uma lista de exercícios e estou com um problema nele. Sempre que coloco um numero para ele somar, dá erro falando que o valor é nulo. Alguém consegue me ajudar?


CODIGO:

Faça um Programa que peça dois números e imprima a soma.

Hello everyone. I recently wrote artc, a tool that allows you to render and export beautiful visuals via lua noscripts. The tool itself is written in C.

Currently, the Lua API is quite minimal in what it provides the user and I would love some ideas to expand it!

Misunderstanding garbage collector: simple question

I am playing with garbage collection. If I populate an array a[i\] = math.random() with thousands of values, the memory isn't released when I do a={} or a=nil, if I run again the same loop after assigning a=nil, more memory will be used, what am I missing?

Can't set up Lua

Hi. I am trying to practice Lua and i downloaded Lua 5.1 as it was the recommended version. Latest tutorials are a lot different and show only four files after extraction. Old version shows many files after extraction and I can't make it work.

I have mingw installed and it is on the path. It also shows up when I use gcc --version. But I have no idea how to add Lua's file as command is not working as given in the guide. Version is exactly 5.1 and I want some help.

Make clean, make mingw aren't working even after I use with different case (capital and small letter) so I thought of asking here. I used command in the Lua-5.1 sub directory which is inside Lua-5.1 directory under temp main directory.

I am thinking of setting up at the hardware level so I can manually compile it using terminal in VSCodium.

I am setting up this for practice and do you think Lua is good language to make programming foundation strong?

What other things will I need for Lua?

Any thoughts on why Fennel isn’t more widely used?

So many nice features added to the Lua runtime such as locally scoped variables, macros, closures, keywords/symbols etc.

Is it because it’s a lisp dialect?
