The luaplayer.org site was down again. Looks like all Lisp subprocesses were hanging, because some connection error occured, at least I saw this after I loged into the Lisp process, because there were a stack trace and an error message with a prompt waiting for input, if I would like to abort the error. I've installed Apache, until I found the real problem, so there should be no problems any more for the next time, until I install the Lisp server again :-)

Shine, thanks for all your work on Lua. I have a feeling LuaPlayer is going to bring PSP homebrew to a new level.

Are you still working a Mac OSx version of the player?

I moved onto something a little bit easier for me to understand. Just outputting text on the screen depending on which button was pressed.

I also made functions for each sentence. I know this is easy for a lot of you, but I am trying to learn.

I didnt have a problem displaying different sentences for each button. How would I go about deleting the previous sentence that was printed out.

here is my short and simple code lol...

I hate Lua's implicit pointer usage so much. Is there any way to get something like this to print on the screen:

I'll be damned. I got so used to just using print and having the screen flipped at the end of the loop I forgot to do it. Thanks.

My Lua IDE is almost notepad now : ). It'll be there tomorrow, but I might not have internet access to post it.

Current features include:
-cut/copy/paste
-reads and writes unix and windows files (I think...)
-literal find
-new/open/save
-multiple windows (and you can have multiple windows of a single file)
-uses Lua for config files, so you can easily add features to it.

If I don't post it tomorrow you can expect it this weekend with even more stuff like:
-customizable syntax highlighting
-autotabbing
-find and replace with gfind pattern matching
-function definition lookup (push a button on a function name to jump to -the spot it's defined)
-documentation!

I'm also planning on adding an interactive debugger with all sorts of cool features, but I can't give a time estimate on that.

source is messy but it gets the job done.

this is pretty much done unless someone finds a way to keep the music looping forever (see readme.txt).

Nice.

Post a link here if you can, I'd like to give it a try.

I would just like to request two small features for v0.8 of luaplayer:

1. the ability to execute pbp and elf files. (or even just pbp would be ok.)
2. ability to set the psp's processor speed.

thanks again for your huge contribution to this scene shine :)

Great work on the Lua player guys! The new features are slick. *thank you* for the USB support, it has made such a huge difference in development time.

I am wondering if there are any plans to include network support in a future of Lua player. Something along the lines of this:

network.listwifi() //lists all wifi profiles names & wifiId
network.isConnected()
network.connect(wifiId)
network.disconnect()

socket.open(ipaddress:port)
socket.send(message)
socket.readIncomingBuffer()
socket.clearIncomingBuffer()
socket.close()

another possible implementation is similar to what flash does with sendAndLoad() where you specify an http url and you can do an http post to a URL and get back a response from the server. Parse the response and do something useful with the new variables. This can be used to talk to server side scripts like, PSP, ASP, Python, etc, etc...

I have many uses for this including an internet community topscores system for Lua games and for communicating with other IP-enabled devices such as Xboxes, MythTV, any anything else with an ethernet port.

So far I've been able to scrape together some working code to do some of the above things using the wifi examples provided by PspPet. I would imagine, the access point connection process could be part of Lua player, only giving you access to the socket functions after a conection has been made. The VNC port for PSP had a nice wifi selector screen. I'm not quite sure how I can implement the PSP SDK networking code as a Lua function, and the code is pretty ugly anyway (but it works).

I'm intrested to hear comments on how others feel a network connectivity interface can be made inside Lua, and curious to where this feature stands on the 'wishlist' for Lua Player.

Keep up the great work!

You can also use QuickTime (www.quicktime.com) to export any sound format to WAV. (You'll need Pro though, but I'm sure you can find a serial somewhere...)

LiquidIce: YES, networking is coming to LuaPlayer, which you would have known if you had searched the forum or even just read the scrollback, you're like the tenth person asking.
