Config file (optional):
The config.lua file can be edited and put in ux0:/data/luaIrc to change some default settings:

you're work does not go unnoticed, thank you Rinnegatamante for all the software you've developed!

I really want to learn lua stuff, i'd love to make a simple agar.io type game for my son, but i didn't get very far when i tried last.

You should start from basis, an agar.io clone is not that simple to write.

i was thinking just a little circle that eats other little circles wouldn't be too tough - not a full clone, but a simplistic version, he is only 5

i could barely get an image displayed, then i gave up when i tried to get it to move.

Changelog:

for some reason it just freezes at black screen for me after the third text prompt, tried several servers

it also crash with error c2-12828-1 when adding the port to the server field, like:
irc.esper.net:6667

it crash too when i left the field blank

here are the ps vita specs: model: pch1010 with henkaku enso on 3.60 firmware

edit: my bad for the necropost = c
