macroquad-lua

love macroquad but hate rust, so use lua instead

DO NOT USE

this project is still in devolopment and will probably be forever, thus you should not even think about using it for making anything more than a moving square

Example

mq = require("macroquad")
mq.extra.global_use(mq.prelude)

x = 0

function mq.update()
  x = x + 5
  if x > screen_width() then
    x = 0
  end
end

function mq.draw()
  clear_background(ORANGE)
  draw_rectangle(x, 50, 120, 60, BLACK)
end

Running

It's as simple as

git clone https://github.com/yui-915/macroquad-lua
cd macroquad-lua
cargo run

You can start doing changes in game/src/main.lua
then you can build it as a standalone executable using

cargo build --release

which you can find in target/release/macroquad-lua
