    Does LuaJit work with latest Gideros?

    edited June 2017 in General questions
    Does LuaJit work with the latest Gideros and the Android export? I've tried and retried the solutions and instructions posted on this forum but to no avail.

    The 2 errors I came across were main.lua related:

    1) "Could not access/find main.lua.jet" - which stops main.lua compiling and app crashes with "main.lua could not be found".
    2) White screen/nothing happens - A project with just a main.lua exports and runs fine. But when I add another lua file (even empty), the app does nothing and there are no logcat errors.

    Thanks in advanced for any help and sorry if I'm unclear.

      I no longer use it because Android 64-bit is just around the corner, as it bitcode on iOS..

      We also added a few things to our built-in version of Lua that can make it a lot faster than regular lua.

      Ah okay, thanks for the reply. Do you use anything else to help speed up games instead?

      Yes, // for integer divide, the bitwise operators <<, etc, the larger or smaller <> or >< , the conversion from radians to degrees ^< or from degrees to radians ^> and macros for things like pi.

      @SinisterSoft Thanks, I'll keep these in mind.

      does convertation to deg\rad works faster than math functions ?

      Way faster!

      It's as fast as any other operator.

      I really need to start using these arcane symbol combinations in my own experiments, thanks @SinisterSoft!

      They are especially handy because the math libs use angles in radians, but the graphics use angles in degrees.

      Well it seem I have a refactor task now, thanks =)
