Editor Scripts 🔥: Alpha Release

I have played around with this for a while now and there are a few things that I miss

I would like access/functionality from these Defold libaries:

  • http : Would like way to do http requests
  • vmath : For doing calculations (don’t have an idea where this is needed yet but I bet someone will eventually)
  • json : Pure lua implementations of json tends to be slow, if we am to parse thousands of files then we need something faster.
  • sys : Would be nice to be able to get .project values. Would also like to have a sys.get_project_path so I wouldn’t need to rely on cwd all the time.
  • (parts of) sound : For playing a sound on complete or button click or w/e
  • zlib : Eventually we will want to pack unpack stuff
  • timer : Will need to wait for something at some point.

Lua/other libraries:

  • lfs : File system stuff
  • lua-pb : When we get access to the proto buff files this will be needed.
  • luaexpat : Someone might prefer XML
  • imgui : We need a way to create gui
  • Penlight : If we are not able to extend lua ourselves then this library does cover a lot of user cases.
