Frameworks:
–RapaNui [FREE][Open Source][Obsolete/No Longer Supported] Lua based high level cross-platform open source game framework for Moai SDK. Born for porting Corona SDK games to Moai SDK, became a full-optional game framework, great for developing complete games from scratch, featuring and supporting above all Box2d physics, Atlases, Automatic image handling and caching, Tiled tilesets, Texture Packer and Physics Editor, group handling, layers, listeners, buttons, lists, maps, transitions and timers. Started by Steafano Linguerri with main functionalities and basic architecture, I joined for the Box2d implementation at first and then I became the main committee and lately the only developer of RapaNui, revolutionizing the whole framework architecture itself and implementing most of the features above while also supporting the community. No longer in development, no longer supported. Highly recommended for learning Lua language.
