Open Source Lua Frameworks

IUP is a portable toolkit for building graphical user interfaces. It offers a configuration API in three basic languages: C, Lua and LED. IUP purpose is to allow a program to be executed in different systems without any modification.

WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows the display of highly customizable graphics on World of Warcraft's user interface to indicate buffs, debuffs, and other relevant information. This addon was created to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras but has since introduced more functionalities while remaining efficient and easy to use. An intuitive and powerful configuration interface. Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and Blizzard's spell alerts. Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras. Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers. Preset and user-defined animations. Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds. Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time. CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, etc.

CD (Canvas Draw) is a platform-independent graphics library. It is implemented in several platforms using native graphics libraries: Windows (GDI) and X-Windows (XLIB). The canvas is an abstract surface that can be a window, an image or a metafile.

Cross-platform python dynamic bindings of GObject-based libraries for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit.

wxLua is a Lua scripting language wrapper for the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI library. It consists of executables for editing, running, and debugging wxLua scripts, a library for extending C++ programs with a fast, small, fully embeddable scripting language, and a variety of sample programs. With wxLua you can quickly write full-featured programs with graphics, networking, printing, etc. for MS Windows, Linux, and OSX.

IM is a toolkit for Digital Imaging. IM is based on 4 concepts: Image Representation, Storage, Processing and Capture. The main goal of the library is to provide a simple API and abstraction of images for scientific applications.

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.

LOVE is a free 2D game engine which enables easy game creation in Lua.

Scrupp is a cross-platform 2D engine which uses SDL and OpenGL for visualization. It is controlled by external Lua scripts. The core supports various image, sound, music and font formats. The hard work is done by plugins written in Lua.

The main purpose of the Moonlight Engine is to be a general 2D game engine geared towards tile-based games, and RPGs specifically. Support for online games is also planned.

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.

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.

mod_pLua is a module for the Apache httpd web server, that enables the use of preprocessed (html-embedded) Lua scripts using a PHP-like syntax as well as CGI-style interfacing, but at a much faster pace. For a more detailed description, see the wiki: https://sourceforge.net/p/modplua/wiki/

hiperGL - Is a 2D OpenGL hardware accelerated blitter, graphic loader, frame manager, a DIV like sprite system, and more utilities for creating video games. It works under SDL. It's portable, and easy to use.

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...

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.

BoomBot is a developer's framework for writing a bot connecting to the AIM network. It manages the network communication for the bots so that they can be easily written without worrying about AIM itself at all. Bots can be written in Objective-C or Lua.

CoPP is an object-oriented framework for developing algorithms for robot path planning. One of of the design goals is to make it easy to make comparisons between various path planning algorithms.

CppLua is an object oriented framework to deal with Lua objects and functions in C++. Member functions can be registered into Lua and Lua functions and tables can be used in C++ code with a very simple and intuitive syntax.

I think it will be the brother of dogengine.

Doom Nvim is a Neovim interpretation of the doom-emacs framework, adapted to Vim philosophy. Our goal is to provide a configurable, extensible, performant and stable basis for any neovim configuration.
