Programming on your device with your preferred language
Lua Carousel » Devlog






Lua Carousel is a free, open source, live-editable and trustworthy environment for writing small, throwaway Lua and LÖVE programs on computers or phones. Starting with this version, it comes bundled with online help in one of 8 languages.
Some details:
- Every translation adds to the download size, so I have created separate versions for each language.
- Other languages are machine-translated from the English version. I've had friends spot-check it for obvious issues, but there are likely to be problems I missed. Please report any issues you spot. If you want to manually translate pages to improve wording and tone for your culture, contributions would be most welcome.
- No support yet for right-to-left languages, or languages with combining characters. Lua Carousel still assumes every character on screen is atomic. For example, I can support Chinese and Japanese but not Korean, Arabic or Indian languages.
- I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to multilingual keyboard support. My rough sense is that that's something to configure for your device. But if there's something I can change in Lua Carousel to make your life easier, please let me know.
- I've included different fonts for Chinese and Japanese, which blow up the download size for these languages. The source code inside each zip file download is exactly the same, only the font files are different. The larger font files also seem to take up to 10 seconds to load.
