A small test demo\u00a0running in LoveDOS<\/p><\/div>\n

In preparation for MiniLD52 I wrote a small framework for making 2D DOS games in Lua;\u00a0the framework provides\u00a0a loose subset of the Love2D API<\/a>.\u00a0Currently it supports only a single image format and runs in mode 13h: 320\u00d7200, 8bit. It doesn\u2019t yet provide sound, scaling\/rotation or mouse support.<\/p>\n

If you want to give it a go, check out the \u201cGetting started\u201d section on the project\u2019s github<\/a>.\u00a0If you encounter\u00a0any issues then leave me a comment; given how new the project\u00a0is, it may have\u00a0some bugs, but hopefully there isn\u2019t anything too major.<\/p>\n

Though the framework has been tested on DOS, as well as\u00a0on an emulation of older hardware,\u00a0I haven\u2019t had a chance to see how\u00a0it runs\u00a0on real older hardware. If you happen to have an early Pentium 1 and wouldn\u2019t mind trying out\u00a0some little test programs on the framework and reporting back the kind of FPS you get, let me know!<\/p>","time":"June 14th, 2014 1:44 am","title":"LoveDOS","title_was_empty":false}
