Luacheck

In case anyone else is interested in using the luacheck linter, here’s my .luacheckrc file which I add to my projects. It defines the Corona SDK globals so that luacheck doesn’t complain about them. One immediate benefit from using luacheck (I use the SublimeLinter and SublimeLinter-luacheck plugins in Sublime Text) is that it highlights accidental globals and unused definitions.

local coronaAPI = { &nbsp; 'audio', &nbsp; 'display', &nbsp; 'easing', &nbsp; 'graphics', &nbsp; 'lfs', &nbsp; 'media', &nbsp; 'native', &nbsp; 'network', &nbsp; 'Runtime', &nbsp; 'system', &nbsp; 'timer', &nbsp; 'transition', &nbsp; 'print', &nbsp; 'require', &nbsp; 'package' &nbsp;} &nbsp; max\_line\_length = false &nbsp; stds.corona = { &nbsp; &nbsp;read\_globals = coronaAPI &nbsp; -- these globals can only be accessed. } &nbsp; std = "lua51+corona"
