A small and simple Lua preprocessor for Defold. This extension hooks into the Lua builder plugin system in bob .
Defold version 1.4.2 or higher
To use this library in your Defold project, add the needed version URL to your game.project dependencies from Releases
-- Use one of the following keywords: RELEASE, DEBUG or HEADLESS
--#IF DEBUG
local lives_num = 999
--#ELSE
local lives_num = 3
--#ENDIF
If you have any issues, questions or suggestions please create an issue

Interesting! Is it possible to create custom keywords? For example in order to bundle for GOG I currently must go to a script and add (uncomment) this:
gog = require "gog_galaxy.gog"
Would be nice if I could do this:
--#IF GOG
gog = require "gog_galaxy.gog"
--#ENDIF

If we can add defines to bob, then yes. Add a feature request.

Done, not really sure what I’m asking for so I’ve been pretty barebones!

Related to this extension:

[One request](https://forum.defold.com/t/extension-lua-preprocessor-small-and-simple-lua-preprocessor/72449/2) was the ability to add custom keywords, e.g. like this:
```
--#IF GOG
gog = require "gog_galaxy.gog"
--#ENDIF
```
This can only be achieved if defines are added to bob.

We need a way to decide how and where to take such keywords. Maybe they should be specified in a special field in game.project, or maybe it should be checking for a field itself, like:
--#IF gog_platform.active
...
--#ENDIF
It should be avaliable from both Bob and Editor.

Let’s keep those discussions in the ticket I think, to avoid duplicate comments
