Awesome! And beautiful! Look at how simple and succint this is thanks to your diligent efforts: local ffi = require("ffi") local writer, reader = require("BlobWriter"), require("BlobReader") function define_struct(name, memberstr) ffi.cdef("#pragma pack(1)\ntypedef...

Error BlobWriter.lua:141: bad argument #2 to 'copy' (cannot convert 'table' to 'const void *') Traceback [C]: in function 'copy' BlobWriter.lua:141: in function 'string' BlobWriter.lua:156: in function '_writeTaggedPair' BlobWriter.lua:323: in function 'write' main.lua:31: in function 'load' [C]: i...

If the number of entities isn't too high, what you can do is consider the distances and directions (vectors, essentially) towards each and every other entity. Begin with a vector pointing straight to the goal, or something. Then, loop over all opponents. Subtract from the initial vector the vector t...

And here I was thinking I had been rudely demanding. You really delivered :3 The __serialize() and __deserialize() functions are only required for complex structs with pointers, So for plain old data structs, just need __typename ? and for cases when ffi.sizeof() is not sufficient to get the true si...

cdata is supported. :raw can read and write cdata just fine. Yeah but that means I have to manually iterate over my tables doing hacky things instead of just this as per the example: local blob = BlobWriter() blob:write(data) All cdata has the same type ("cdata"). There is no ffi API that...

Still no support for cdata.

I'm checking the client send for errors: local result, err = udp:sendto(message, ipaddr, 65000) print(result, err) Which should print like "1 nil", but actually prints: "nil refused". So the client is "refused" from sending anything. I don't know why. The docs say: the ...

This post suggests that you should not pass 0 to udp:settimeout().

You haven't actually said what's (not) happening, by the way. What are you expecting your code to do? What does it (not) do instead?

address = "Server Address: " .. socket.dns.toip(socket.dns.gethostname())

What does the server address look like?

Stop wishing to deliver something you can't make, and start delivering things you can. People will notice your skills. Look at other people's work, and find someone who's good at what you like. Then ask them, personally, if they want to collaborate. Your biggest asset is having something to display ...
