I wish there was a way to connect to the Ship Library (https://dev.sincerely.com/docs). In general, I wish there was a way to connect to any library. Perhaps there is and I don’t know it, but what if we could add the cool libraries? [import]uid: 37366 topic_id: 18719 reply_id: 318719[/import]
before corona came along, lua was used as a “glue” language. or at least thats what Ive read in my deep journey into LUA. ( resource GAME DEVELOPMENT with LUA By Paul Schuytema/Mark Manhyen ISBN 1-58450-404-8)
The book refers to Intergrating LUA into C/C++ program and how to communicate between Lua and C++. (along with other chapters one LUA game design and the basics of LUA - This book has nothing to do with Corona SDK).
maybe someone could use this as a launch point to create a library for us “developers” ? I would try but dont know the first thing about implementing a object/library via Corona SDK. How would you include this in a project ? how could we call it it from corona and access the functions ?
LUA has been around as glue in numerious gaming platforms and can be used from a players point of view. Yes players in WOW(world of warcraft) can write code and hook them to their “characters” and allow their players to run these scripts as automated tasks. (I.E. leveling up)
just my 2 cents worth - or maybe its .2 cents since we are in a recession ?

+1 for native access. There are hundreds of useful libraries out there. If we the developers can write bindings for them corona will become much more valuable. [import]uid: 22829 topic_id: 18719 reply_id: 72320[/import]
