Lua-SDL2 (SDL2 binding for Lua)

==================================

Lua-SDL2 is a pure C binding of SDL2 to Lua 5.1, Lua 5.2, Lua 5.3, Lua 5.4, and

LuaJIT.

The current version is 2.1, compatible with SDL 2.0.1 - 2.0.5.

Lua-SDL2 follows the [SemVer](https://semver.org) standard with regards to project

versioning.

Features

========

Lua-SDL2 is a portable binding of SDL2, written in pure C for efficiency.

It tries to stay as close to SDL as possible, acting as a simple binding

rather than attempting to re-design the interaction between the programmer

and SDL.

Lua-SDL2 takes full advantage of Lua's object-oriented capabilities wherever

possible, allowing the programmer to fully leverage SDL's inherent

object-oriented design.

Lua-SDL2 is very well documented, with copious source-code comments, and a full

API reference available at [the wiki](https://github.com/Tangent128/LuaSDL2/wiki/).

Compatibility

=============

Lua-SDL2 is designed to be as compatible as possible.  The library has support

for all the latest features of SDL2, while still compiling with SDL 2.0.1.

If the library is compiled with a newer point release of SDL than what is

listed here, the library should still function, simply without access to the

newer features.

Lua-SDL2 is compatible with:

	* Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or LuaJIT

	* SDL 2.0.1 and greater

Installing

==========

If you have LuaRocks installed,

    $ luarocks install lua-sdl2

Otherwise, read `INSTALL.md` for instructions to build it yourself.
