Lua Object Oriented Packet Scripting

Background In this chapter we provide background information about the technologies used in this project. While there are several books, papers, and presentations explaining these technolo-gies in-depth, we provide some general information and point the reader to the different references...

Lua Computational Time and Composition Time

Implementation Strategy Background The demand for tightly integrated modalities based upon immanent elements leads to the identification of two key design sites: Lower level components. Generic ‘meta-mechanisms’ rather than numerous features. Lower level components may be necessary to support tight...

PDF using lua for audiovisual compostion

LUA The lua~ external incorporates domain specific extensions to the Lua language for digital audio. Surprisingly few such extensions exist (notably Geiger’s research project ALUA and recent high-level bindings for the CSound API) and none that provide the rich degree...

Lua used as a Domain Specific Language for Multimedia

MULTIMEDIA COMPOSITION ENVIRONMENTS Digital media composition Designing an environment for multimedia composition in the digital domain requires constructing a model of multimedia representation. The ideal specificity of a model depends upon the problem it is trying to solve, however digital...

Lua Performance Tips

Basic facts Before running any code, Lua translates (precompiles) the source into an internal format. This format is a sequence of instructions for a virtual machine, similar to machine code for a real CPU. This internal format is then interpreted by C...
