# luapixels
The beginnings of what could be a game engine for using GLFW + Go + Lua.
### Example use
main.go:
```go
package main
import (
"log"
_ "embed"
"github.com/xyproto/luapixels"
)
//go:embed game.lua
var luaCode string
func main() {
if err := luapixels.Run(luaCode); err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}
```
game.lua:
```lua
window_title = "Simple Example"
function at_start()
print("hi")
-- Set color at palette index 7 to red (RGB 255, 0, 0)
setpal(7, 255, 0, 0)
end
function at_every_frame()
-- Set the background color to blue (RGB 0, 128, 255)
background(0, 128, 255)
-- At (100, 100), draw a red pixel (index 7 in the palette)
plot(100, 100, 7)
end
function at_key_pressed()
quit()
end
function at_end()
print("bye!")
end
```
### Performance
There is a lot of room for improvements when it comes to performance, since this implementation is fresh and not yet optimized.
The pixels are quads right now, but a texture could be used instead. This would require no changes from the Lua code, though.
