[ANN] LuaTut clone and LuaPas library

[KawaGeo]

LuaTut (short for Lua Tutor) is a Pascal clone of Lua stand-alone interpreter (lua.c, v5.1) that comes in the standard distribution. LuaPas is a library of all C headers for Lua completely converted to Pascal. The library is not fully tested at this moment.

The complete package is available at LuaForge site: http://luaforge.net/projects/luatut/

It is ideal for Pascal coders who want to compare Pascal and C codes, "word for word", in the LuaTut listings. Both are available in the package.

Thank you for your interest.

VERY promising, so the dlls wouldnt be needed anymore?

[KawaGeo]

Sorry. DLL's are needed still. However, they shouldn't concern us, Pascal coders. Only main program (lua.c) was converted completely to Pascal. The others were already compiled in DLL's, whether they be in C or Pascal.

Second release at http://luaforge.net/projects/luatut/ is now available. It covers the first 5 of NeHe OpenGL Tutorial lessons. All lessons were converted to Lua (almost like Pascal) from C codes. You can get them at http://nehe.gamedev.net/ and select Lessons 1-5 at the left.

More lessons and more OpenGL functions will be covered in the next releases.

Thank you.

Well, for many people the ability to distributie programs without installing a complete framework of DLL's is a big plus.
