Kaledis

Kaledis is a tool for allowing Luau to be used with Love2D via transpiling, alongside providing easier & simpler management of Love2D projects.

It has many resources to make your life much easier when using Love2D:

• Transpiles Luau into compatible Love2D code, allowing type annotations, libraries and other features to be implemented.
• Automatically manages and provides Love2D installations. (WIP)
• Simple commands and CLI, you'll get the hang of it in no time.
• Easily create & ship your project to the current OS you build the project in.
• A more friendly frontend configuration framework, using a TOML file instead of a conf.lua
  • If you need to make it dynamic, we allow you to still use a conf.lua file.

FAQ

Why the name 'Kaledis'?

The name came from the word 'Kalendis', in latin means "moons" or "more than 1 moon". By the fact that Luau and Love2D are "incompatible" and the package solves that problem, it was given this name.

Who I contact for source code related stuff?

If you need anything regarding the code, you can contact lettuce-magician and he will forward the topic to ordep (that actually edits the code).

Why are the type definition files so ugly and are lacking some features?

Luau LSP's typedefs file parsing is kinda weird, and sometimes it crashes or memory leaks. Leaving the only option to weird workarounds. Currently we're waiting for the environments feature to release so we can finally have proper type definitions for the Love2D environment.
