  • gabe

  • I really like baton for input, flux for tweens, and gamera for camera. My projects use gabe as a base for hotloading code changes and it works wonderfully.

  • love-shaderscan

    better iteration with shaders in love2d

  • I wrote love-shaderscan for hotloading shaders, love-parallax for parallax backgrounds, and love-gamepadguesser for gamepad support and icons switching. I'm proud of them.

  • love-parallax

    A utility library for LÖVE that adds parallax scrolling to your camera.

  • I wrote love-shaderscan for hotloading shaders, love-parallax for parallax backgrounds, and love-gamepadguesser for gamepad support and icons switching. I'm proud of them.

  • love-gamepadguesser

    Guess what a gamepad should look like and provide a default set of art that matches the input gamepad.

  • I wrote love-shaderscan for hotloading shaders, love-parallax for parallax backgrounds, and love-gamepadguesser for gamepad support and icons switching. I'm proud of them.

  • luacheck

    A tool for linting and static analysis of Lua code. (by lunarmodules)

  • I'm just a contributor to Gabe, but I use luacheck in my other projects. Install it (with hererocks+luarocks on Win and luarocks elsewhere), set it up in your editor, and you'll get warnings about typos and other potential bugs. luacheckrc lets you configure it: turn off warnings you don't care about, customize it for different files.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
