LuaPlayer Euphoria V5 Released: Ogg & Dialogue Support + More Speed
greg | July 26, 2009

Returning from a short hiatus is developer Zack with another new and improved version of LuaPlayer Euphoria. Any homebrew developer using Lua as their chosen language should definitely step up to V5. Zack notes more updates are around the way.

LuaPlayer Euphoria V5:

System

* System.dialogue(STRING, OPTIONS) – Brings up the Sony Message Dialogue window with your text
* System.about() — Shows the LuaPlayer Euphoria version, credits and info (using Sony message dialogue system)

Ogg support/playback

* Ogg.init() — Initialize the Ogg System.
* Ogg.load(filename) — Load a Ogg.
* Ogg.play() — Play a Ogg.
* Ogg.stop() — Stop a Ogg.
* Ogg.pause() — Pause a Ogg.
* Ogg.kill() — Stop and Free a Ogg.
* Ogg.free() — Free a Ogg.
* Ogg.endOfStream() — Get the end of a Ogg (ie . if Ogg.endOfStream == 1 then).
* Ogg.getTime(string) — Retrive the current play time position of the Ogg.

MP3

* “end” is a reserved keyword in Lua, so Mp3.end() would never have worked… It is now: Mp3.kill()

Other

* Uses IntraFont By BenHur.
* Speedup: about 8>10fps – according to my testers (Thanks Osgeld and Cmbeke!)
