Open Source Lua Frameworks - Page 2

Lapis is a framework for building web applications in Lua (or MoonScript) that primarily targets OpenResty, a high-performance web platform that runs on a customized version of Nginx. Lapis can also be used in other server environments, being compatible with any modern version of Lua. With OpenResty, Lua is run directly inside of the Nginx worker using LuaJIT, giving you the smallest barrier between the webserver and your code. Have a look at Web Framework Benchmarks just to see how OpenResty stacks up against other platforms. Utilizing the power of Lua coroutines, you can write clean code that looks synchronous but can achieve high throughput by automatically running asynchronously without blocking. Networking operations like database queries and HTTP requests will automatically yield to allow for handling concurrent requests, all without all that callback spaghetti seen in other asynchronous platforms.

Leadwerks Arena is an open source first-person/third-person arena game for online play between players. It is a community created tech demo for the Leadwerks Engine 2.1 and showcase of Phoenix.Framework.

A fast and minimalist web framework based on OpenResty.

LuaDist is a CMake built module distribution and deployment tool for the Lua programming language. It aims to achieve zero configuration runtime environment for Lua modules and libraries be it source or binary.

Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua. For the latest version of this project, refer to http://code.google.com/p/lualinq/ Sorry for that. The syntax is very similar to LINQ and reminds of SQL, for those who already know those languages. It’s released with a BSD 3 clause license. It uses a very basic subset of Lua, which allows it to be used also in very restrictive embedding scenarios (e.g. videogames). The focus on data instead of processing makes it suitable for all those scripts where querying the hosting application entities is paramount: RPG videogames, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

LuaRadio is a lightweight, embeddable flow graph signal processing framework for software-defined radio. It provides a suite of source, sink, and processing blocks, with a simple API for defining flow graphs, running flow graphs, creating blocks, and creating data types. LuaRadio is built on LuaJIT, has a small binary footprint of under 750 KB (including LuaJIT), has no external hard dependencies, and is MIT-licensed. LuaRadio can be used to rapidly prototype software radios, modulation/demodulation utilities, and signal processing experiments. It can also be embedded into existing radio applications to serve as a user-scriptable engine for signal processing. LuaRadio blocks are written in pure Lua, but can use LuaJIT's FFI to wrap external libraries, like VOLK, liquid-dsp, and others, for computational acceleration, sophisticated processing, and interfacing with SDR hardware.

LuaUnit is a popular unit-testing framework for Lua, with an interface typical of xUnit libraries (Python unittest, Junit, NUnit, ...). It supports several output formats (Text, TAP, JUnit, etc.) that can be used directly or work with continuous integration platforms (Jenkins, Maven, etc.). LuaUnit may be installed as a rock or directly added to your project. For simplicity, LuaUnit is contained into a single file and has no external dependency. LuaUnit may also be used as an assertion library, to validate assertions inside a running program. In addition, it provides a pretty stringifier that converts any type into a nicely formatted string (including complex nested or recursive tables).

Fast prototyping environment in Lua for GUI, DSP and ANN development. Based on lqt, lfann, and our code. Goal minimal build dependencies. Only contains what we or any contributor needs.

Luvit implements the same APIs as Node.js, but in Lua. This helps teams migrate without having to learn a new way of programming. Choose your async model; we don’t mind; we encourage experimentation. If you don’t like callbacks and event emitters, use coroutines and write blocking-style code without actually blocking your event loop. The various projects in the luvit ecosystem can be mixed and matched to build the ideal runtime for your application. The luvit CLI tool can be used as a scripting platform just like node. This can be used to run lua scripts as standalone servers, clients, or other tools.

Networking and sockets in scripting languages is difficult and often overcomplicated! Monasic is a server daemon (service) which does all the low level work to create a simple message-based environment, allowing easy access to networking via scripts.

NaN3D is a real-time 3d software rendering engine for the C++ programming language. This project is relased under the LGPL License.

A framework for interacting with tests within NeoVim. For any runner without an adapter you can use neotest-vim-test which supports any runner that vim-test supports. The vim-test adapter does not support some of the more advanced features such as error locations or per-test output. If you're using the vim-test adapter then install vim-test too.

Networix is a Open Source Framework programmed in c# to allow users to script in lua, c# and GLSL in a OpenGL Environment using an object based interface.

NiL is a modular multi-purpose gaming engine including a multiplayer worm game a little like quake, except it's 2d and a little like worms except it's realtime.

Ninja INI is a simple, lightweight, and fast INI file reader & writer. It supports 3 levels (sections, keys, and containers), multiple keys with same name, parse command-line (argc & argv). Written in C++ with STL design and optional bindings to Lua.

NvChad is a neovim config written in lua aiming to provide a base configuration with very beautiful UI and blazing fast start time (around 0.02 secs ~ 0.07 secs). We tweak UI plugins such as telescope, nvim-tree etc well to provide an aesthetic UI experience. Lazy loading is done 93% of the time meaning that plugins will not be loaded by default, they will be loaded only when required also at specific commands, events etc. This lowers the start time and it was like 0.07~ secs tested on an old Pentium machine 1.4ghz + 4gb ram & HDD. NvChad is supposed to be used with its starter config, so nvchad main repo ( this repo ) can be imported as a plugin via lazy's import feature and then you can easily use this repo's modules like autocmds etc.

Universal, platform independet, scriptable, networking game engine with physics and sound support.

This project aims at writing a threaded, object-oriented and scriptable game engine targetting the .NET platform, using a mixture of c# or managed c++ ports of famous c/c++ components such as OGRE, CEGUI, Newton, Lua, Python, Audiere, OpenAL, etc...

RMX is a modular automation system supporting system events and human interface events.

3D real-time framework designed for rapid prototyping and interactive environments. Using Lua as the high-level access point to the engine and component-based entities, one only needs to alter scripts to create an interactive environment, like a game.

Simple Game Engine framework to simplify games development with DirectX.

Simple Playing - Game Framework : An easy to use framework with dependency injection. Based on OpenGL SFML and the boost libraries. Written in C++ and theoretically supporting all major operating systems.

The Gamebook Engine is the first free, cross-platform engine for writing gamebooks, such as the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, or the "Lone Wolf" series. TGE can interpret scripts that use the "Hyena" gamebook format.

The TORUS framework project aims to provide a complete application lifecycle management environment (from requirements to tests), supporting most common platforms and programing languages, and centered on one main concept: Think Once & ReUSe!
