KLuaPuyo

Hi all :)

Here’s my next little game…

http://code.stephan-kleinert.de/riscos/KLuaPuyo.zip

KLuaPuyo is (as the name implies ;)) a PuyoPuyo clone written in Lua. It’s for two players, but there’s also a practice mode for one player included. What’s also included is the matching rlua version, so this thing runs on its own.

As with all the diversions I kept coding the last few years, this one could need a little polish here and there (prettier graphics come to mind).
It’s MIT-licensed, so if you feel so inclined, go ahead and embellish this poor little piece of software :)

p.s.: The controls are i,j,k,l and space for the left player, and 8,4,5,6,0 on the numeric keypad for the right player. I had planned making this configurable, but then other things got in the way…

A Puyo with a practice mode! Yay! Maybe I can get better at it without some evil player 2 messing me
up all the time!

Congratulations Stephan. Most impressive. By the way, I note that in the !Run file you save LUA_PATH to OLD_LUA_PATH and then define your own LUA_PATH. There is a way round this, because require finds out where to get its argument from package.path and that in turn is initialised by reading the system variable LUA_PATH, or taking a default value if that is undefined. So you can avoid the stuff in !Run by having the line

package.path = "bundledLua:?"

Nice to see RiscLua being used :)

That’s perfect. Thank you very much :)
