Welcome to Gluon!

A project by the leader of the United Coder's Alliance; Gluon is a WIP game engine, while it cannot even be considered a game engine by this point, only a lua command line, we are beginning small to end up big, and we are confident that we can do it if we use our combined efforts.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Gluon is now capable of playing sounds.

July 6, 2015 - Sorrow | 1 Comments

A new function was ported over from C++ and in to Lua.
PlaySound, a common sound playing function for windows was ported over, it may not be adequite for use in Gluon forever, but it serves as a good placeholder until we've ported the OpenAL library (which will allow us to use sound functions more extensively)

42 New OpenGL functions ported to Lua.

June 27, 2015 - Sorrow | 0 Comments

That's right, there are now 42 new OpenGL functions ported to Gluon's Lua.
This warrants Gluon 0.0.5

Sounds good. Hit me up this Friday if you need any help.

My bindings take up a lot of space in the C++, making it unclean and messy, this will not only fix that but ensure we can use stuff like pointers to tell the C++ what to do through Lua.

And better yet, it's license states we can do whatever we want with it.

Awesome, question is, will there be a significant change if you switch?

I'm starting to think of using the premade LuaGL libraries instead of my own bindings as that will get graphics libraries finished faster, who knows, we may soon have something to show for.

Maybe by the time that this engine is finished, we will be between 18-20ish, we can actually legally publish our first game using the engine and start making $$$$$$ and pounds
