Top 8 C++ Luajit Projects

sol2

6 3,367 6.8 C++

Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:

Project mention: CBN Changelog: December 3, 2022. Improved LUA support in progress! | reddit.com/r/cataclysmbn | 2022-12-03

This version relies on a Lua C++ wrapper called sol2 to hide Lua stack management from the developer, so creating new bindings can be done by adding a few lines of human-readable C++. It still has to be done manually, but at least sol2 is able to automatically figure out types of objects being bound, so it's not much different from our de-/serialization code.
love

111 3,106 3.5 C++

LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

Start by making some games imo, unless you already have a good project in mind. https://tic80.com or https://love2d.org

neoGFX

2 474 9.0 C++

Cross-platform GPU-oriented C++ application/game framework

Project mention: A new design pattern: the C++ "template mixin" | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2023-03-04

See https://github.com/i42output/neoGFX/blob/master/src/gui/widget/widget.cpp for the power of this pattern.
MWSE

2 88 0.0 C++

Morrowind Script Extender v2

Project mention: Need help Modding | reddit.com/r/Morrowind | 2023-03-06

If you aren't using OpenMW, you will want Morrowind Code Patch, Morrowind Graphics Extender XE, and (maybe) the nightly build of MWSE. MCP and MWSE are requirements for a lot of mods -- depending on which mods you use, the version of MWSE that comes with MGE XE may be sufficient, but others may require a newer version (the "nightly build"). Using mods without either of these two set ups (OpenMW vs MCP + MGE XE + MWSE) isn't really worth it imo -- they're the only way to get good graphics, and one or the other is a requirement for many good mods. My suggestion is that your first step should be to pick one of the two -- OpenMW will be easier to set up.

Project mention: TOML parser works fine from luajit but doesn't work from LOVE | reddit.com/r/love2d | 2022-12-17

I installed toml.lua through luarocks and ran this example without errors through luajit, but when I run it through love, I get the error: "attempt to read undeclared variable sol.TOMLDate.♻".
