NON - Free 2D Lua and MoonScript Game Engine

[YourBestNightmare]

Yesterday I was working on NON again snd it is finally working on Android :D Bzt fot n0w, only supported languages are Lua and JavaScript.

New update

Added back TypeScript and CoffeeScript support. Working hard on LUA integration, but loading natives in cross-platform manner is a bit hard. You can view full commit here: [https://github.com/codeindie/non](https://github.com/codeindie/non)

Also some new screenies:

Logcat output:


Updated light engine example running on Android :3


[Saga]

How many lines did it take to program that android sample?

[YourBestNightmare]

@Sacra entire source code of that Android example (43 lines). Also located here in examples folder on GItHub: [https://github.com/codeindie/non/blob/master/examples/javascript/main.js](https://github.com/codeindie/non/blob/master/examples/javascript/main.js)

```
var map, pressed, client, server, msg, light, circle;

non.ready = function() {
map = tiled.newMap("data/map.tmx");
audio.play(audio.newMusic("data/music.ogg"));

physics.setGravity(0,10).init();
physics.newShape(map.data.getLayers().get("Collisions").getObjects());
physics.newShape(math.newRectangle(32,10,20,20));
physics.newShape(math.newRectangle(100,10,20,20));
physics.newShape(math.newRectangle(120,80,20,20));
physics.newShape(math.newRectangle(8,150,20,20), "static");
physics.newShape(math.newRectangle(240,300,200,20), "static");

circle = physics.newShape(math.newCircle(32,64,20), "dynamic", 0.5, 0.4, 0.6);
lights.setShadows(true).setCulling(false).init(physics);
light = lights.newPointLight(100, graphics.newColor("red"), 500, input.touch.getX(), input.touch.getY());
};

non.resize = function() {
graphics.resize().update();
}

non.update = function() {
physics.update();
lights.update();

light.setPosition(input.touch.getX(), input.touch.getY());
circle.setTransform(input.touch.getX(), input.touch.getY(), 0);
};

non.draw = function() {
graphics.begin();
map.draw(graphics);
lights.draw(graphics);
physics.draw(graphics);

graphics.draw("Author: YourBestNightmare", 10, 10, graphics.newColor("yellow"));
graphics.draw("Engine: non (no nonsense) framework", 10, 34, graphics.newColor("white"));
graphics.draw("Mouse pos: [" + input.touch.getX() + "," + input.touch.getY() + "] Light pos: [" + light.getPosition().x + "," + light.getPosition().y + "]", 10, 58, graphics.newColor("white"));
graphics.draw("FPS: " + non.getFPS(), 10, 82, graphics.newColor("white"));
graphics.end();
};

```

So I was working on NON a lot in past few days. I decided that I should add some more features to configuration file for non. So now, but can configure dependencies, plugins, signing of android apks and a lot more.

Here is example of new non.cfg:
```
{
"name": "non",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "main.js",
"plugins": [ "Graphics", "Audio" ],

"core": {
"dependencies": {
"compile": ['commons-io:commons-io:2.4']
}
},

"desktop": {
"configuration": {
"resolution": [ 800, 600 ],
"fullscreen": true
}
},

"android": {
"configuration": {
"signing": [ "./keystore", "123456", "non", "123456" ]
}
}
}
```

I cant stop reading this as non no nonsense game framework which is a double negative making me feel like its a nonsense game framework. Why is the abbreviation NON anyway?

[Mal]

NO (No) N (Nonsense). Go home, Evan; you're drunk. Lol

[YourBestNightmare]

So after a long time I finally finished new update. I had a lot of trouble to make Lua working on all platforms, but now it is finally working.

Good job nice work

[YourBestNightmare]

Thanks @Officer_Johnson, I am going to fiddle with some particles for next update now.

[Ezemel]

When will this be usable?

It might be right now, but I mean, what's the point on having such great features when no one uses this [dunno for what reason]

Particles are ok to add, but right now would suck.

Maybe try adding something wich will motivate people using NON.

[Officer Johnson]

^^^^ Agreed

If you want to use it you are free to. It's a framework not an engine. There may be better frameworks out there. There maybe worse. This defiantly isn't a well known one and not many people here have knowledge in Java. If you want to use it then feel free to create a game or an engine out of this because this should be pretty stable.

It is not actually framework. It is something in between, because frameworks are mostly libraries what you will use when making games etc. NON also includes compiler, so it is more engine than framework. And you do not need knowledge at java at all becouse in NON you use JavaScript or Lua to make games, NON only compiles these scripts to Java.

[YourBestNightmare]

And @Lumiere noone is using this because it is still in development stage and so I do not began to share it anywhere only in this community.

New update

Finally got some time and stress-tested Lua support for Android. Here is official screenie of Hello World application written in Lua running on Android 4.4.2 with x86 processor. 60 FPS of course. Also, link to GitHub commit for more info about update: [https://github.com/codeindie/non/commit/a242d3f2d6d4c8825ee2249ab67ba8d6f7415bbf](https://github.com/codeindie/non/commit/a242d3f2d6d4c8825ee2249ab67ba8d6f7415bbf)


And here is source code of above example:

```
non.draw = function()
-- Insert rendering logic here
graphics:begin()
graphics:draw("Hello World!", 15, 15)
graphics:display()
end
```

[Saga]

Really excited… :)

[YourBestNightmare]

Oops, double post. Sorry, not my fault.

[YourBestNightmare]

New update

In this update:

- I added non.jar. It is non launcher. Now, to use non, only 3 files are

required: non, non.bat and non.jar.

- Overhauled JavaScript implementation (method of invoking functions

from code).

- Moved default non plugins to non.plugins.internal package.

- Renamed "html" project to "web"

- Changed "gen" task

Also, here is some small tutorial on how easy is to make plugin for NON:

1: Create new folder "plugins" in place where your "non.jar" resides

2: In "plugins" folder create new file called Foo.java

3: In this file, put this:

```
package non.plugins;
import non.Non;

public class Foo extends Plugin {
public void Bar() {
Non.log("Foo", "Bar!");
}
}

```
4:

In javascript, you can use this plugin like this:

```
non.ready = function() {
foo.bar();
}

```
And in lua:

```
non.ready = function()
foo:bar()
end

```

[YourBestNightmare]

MERRY CHRISTMAS


```
non.ready = function() {
// Insert initialization logic here
img = graphics.newImage("bg.png");
img.setScale(math.newVector(non.getWidth() / img.getWidth(),non.getHeight() / img.getHeight()));
};

non.draw = function() {
// Insert rendering logic here
graphics.begin();
graphics.draw(img, 0, 0);
graphics.draw("MERRY CHRISTMAS!", 15, 15);
graphics.display();
};

```

[YourBestNightmare]

Fixed last bugs and created first official release for non: [https://github.com/codeindie/non/releases](https://github.com/codeindie/non/releases)

Here is also pre-compiled above christmas sample for Desktop and Android with JavaScript source files included: [http://ge.tt/88lC6R72/v/0](http://ge.tt/88lC6R72/v/0)

[YourBestNightmare]

New update

- Added accelerometer support for mobile platforms. (input.accelerometer)

- Added "input.vibrate(duration)" method for android devices.

- Added "show()" and "hide()" methods for "input.keyboard" what can show and hide onscreen keyboard on mobile devices.

- Added "non.file(path)" method for easy loading and manipulating files.

- Restructured source code and reduced NON command-line launcher to one class (launcher.class in src folder).

[YourBestNightmare]

Started working on GWT integration, that means NON project can be built for Web (converted from java to pure JavaScript).

6 posts in a row. I understand the need to keep things bumped but try to calm down and tack on to previous posts some eh?

[Ezemel]

I don't mind, it's not like there is something else interesting to see on eclipse anyway, other than crappy jokes and discussion about drama section.

[pandacoder]

I ditto Hat. His average time between updates is nearly a day, it's not Thomas' fault nobody is bothering to reply.

Anyway Thomas it's looking good. Keep up the good work, I wish you'd get a little bit more attention and support for your effort.
