Anyone wanna do a forum collab of a large library of functions made for all ranges of skill level in Lua?? I'm thinking a lot of debug functions would be nice, an extended math library, extended string library (shortcuts with string patterns??), extended table manipulation such as creating arrays of more than one dimension in one function, etc.

Whatcha guys think??

Discuss.

You guys in for it?? The debug for lua is disgusting so a debug library would be amazing. Something like pcall (or using pcall) that attempts to fix the error if it finds one, then reruns the function again.

Wow. I would LOVE that. But here's one major problem in that idea: There's no way to search a script for variables.

Unless I'm totally out of it....

Ooooohhhh! I didn't read the whole post -__-". Debug library, I get it. I just didn't get what you wanted to make? It could fix all the stupid camelCase errors too like "moveTo should be MoveTo".

@aboy: how exactly would you fix the errors? if it were as simple as you might think it is, then it would be far more common in IDEs. i dont know of any that will actually fix errors for you, though an IDE i use does actually point to where it thinks the error is in the output window thingy.

I'm thinking with the entire Scripters forum we could use some fancy string matching :P And even just fixing syntax would be better than nothing.

"There's no way to search a script for variables."

getfenv()

even though that's getting removed in 5.2

If then is expected, 'then' is inserted into the function and re-executed. If an end is missing it auto-places one at the end. If the wrong form of = or == was used then it would be fixed.

Not only that, but Source is locked. How could you search a script without access to Source or some crazyness that would make it easier to manually debug than to try?

@Qwerty

My idea of the debug function is like pcall, taking a function as an argument.
