Principles
- Game-agnostic: Modlib aims to provide nothing game-specific;
- Minimal invasiveness: Modlib should not disrupt other mods; even at the expense of syntactic sugar, changes to the global environment - apart from the addition of the modlib scope - are forbidden
- Architecture: Modlib is organized hierarchically
- Performance: Modlib tries to not compromise performance for convenience; modlib loads lazily
Tests
The tests are located in a different repo, modlib_test
, as they are quite heavy due to testing the PNG reader using PngSuite. Reading the tests for examples of API usage is recommended.
API
(Incomplete) documentation resides in the doc
folder; you'll have to dive into the code for everything else.
The mod namespace is modlib
, containing all modules which in turn contain variables & functions.
Modules are lazily loaded by indexing the modlib
table. Do _ = modlib.<module>
to avoid file load spikes at run time.
Localizing modules (local <module> = modlib.<module>
) is recommended.
