av

Audio-visual creative coding with LuaJIT

Running

Windows: launch av.exe

Linux: run ./av_linux (an optional argument specifies a different .lua file to run)

OSX: run from a terminal as ./av_osx, or just by double-clicking on av_osx.

When launched it will run the contents of start.lua. If this file is edited & saved while av is running, it will be relaunched.

The av app is just a thin wrapper around LuaJIT 2.0 with a binding to a window (currently GLUT) and a few other basic system utilities. Most other modules are Lua/LuaJIT.

Building

OSX

Xcode developer tools should be sufficient (Xcode itself is not required).

Then it should be enough to say

cd src
./build.sh

Ubuntu

Tested on Ubuntu 12.10

cd src
./build.sh

I needed to sudo apt-get install git g++ freeglut3-dev for this to succeed.

Windows

Tested on Windows 7 (64-bit)

Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt:

cd src
nmake
