unluac

Fork of https://sourceforge.net/projects/unluac/ to work with the Playdate's Lua bytecode

To decompile a Lua bytecode file:

(Note: you need the Java runtime to run the JAR file)

• Download the JAR from the releases section

• java -jar unluac.jar -o (output_file.lua) (input_file.luac)

• Alternately, you can use unluac.sh in this repo to work on a lot of files:

  ./unluac.sh (input directory) [optional output directory]

  Passing the -r option before the input directory will delete the luac files after they have been decompiled.

To build from source:

(Note: you need the Java Development Kit to build the JAR file)

• git clone the repo
• cd to its root directory
• ./build.sh should create a build directory, stick the class files there, then put the finished JAR in the root directory
