Top 10 C++ Luajit Projects

  1. love

    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

    Project mention: Free high-performance cross-platform game engine | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-18

    How does it compare to Löve 2D, other than shipping with a IDE? Looks like Defold supports more platforms, but I guess there are some strings attached since packaging games for various consoles usually come with very non-open dependencies.
