Homebrew [W.i.P] Lua Player Plus - First Lua Interpreter for 3DS

[Rinnegatamante]

After 2 days, we reached the goal to port our LUA core made for PSP/PSVITA to 3DS and we run the first LUA script on this console!

Lua Player Plus is officially the first LUA interpreter available for 3DS. At this time, it allows only basic screen functions in order to make an hello world but we're working hard to implement a lot of features in the near future.

As for the PSP/PSVITA version, LPP is completely opensource and source code can be found on our GitHub repository: https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds

Official Documentation: http://rinnegatamante.netsons.org/lpp-3ds_doc.html

I would thank Aurelio for testing our interpreter during the development.

Very Nice !!!

Great job! I know many people will be happy about this.

Holy crap. This is great! Is this just an interpreter or does it have sort of a notepad+keyboard functionality? If not, any plans on making it? Because it would be great to code & run on the go with 3DS.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

At this time, is just an interpreter but, in the future, we will implement keyboards for input (like Danzeff) and I/O functions so everyone could make his personal IDE.

M'kay then. Gonna compile & try it during the week. I remember when I was fooling around with Lua it looked like an amazing language to prototype in, so being able to code in the wild would be effing great. At the moment I'm waiting for Puchikon3 to be dumped (or rather waiting for the dump to be found, heh), but this will definitely be better after some development. Looking forward, keep up the good work guys.

Just let the people make an ide in the interpreter, so you can focus on the libraries for the 3ds!

Looks pretty awesome, however upon compiling it and trying to run it, my 3DS crashes to the home menu..

officially the first unofficial lua player
very cool work, well done

I find this a bit useless without a framework (ex. Love2D).
Porting Love2D to 3DS would require to port SDL2 tho, I'm not sure if it has been done yet.

Rikku is porting SDL to 3DS

You have to put our hello world sample in the root of your SD card named as index.lua.

LPP has its proper framework (on PSP/PSVITA it supports osLib, Gu3D, intrafont, video play, audio play, Go!Cam support, ecc...).

I have no idea of what you're talking about, but it's cool to see so many Italians having an important role in the hacking scene. Wasn't expecting it, good job.

There is a difference between SDL and SDL2.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Implemented few new functions which allow to create little hb with the interpreter.

Added also a new sample on the Repository.

Where are the binaries?

Where are the binaries?

Its a WIP, are you incapible of compiling it yourself?

 

[Rinnegatamante]

We will release an official binary compilation only when we will be satisfied of the results.

I just didn't want to have to worry about setting up the compilation tools if I didn't have to. I'll try compiling it, and if it works, I'll post the binary somewhere.

EDIT: Compiled version attached.
