I've been spending the past few days trying to figure out how to add SDL2 to Leadwerks, as it has an additional Lua binding that would be nice to have. Not to mention the gamepad support (which is the main reason because just adding XInput only would give support for XBox 360 and Dualshock 3 controllers). Not having any experience with an engine like Leadwerks, application building, or libraries has severely impacted my ability to figure out what to do in my current situation. I know I need to include the library and expose it to Lua, but I don't know how to do that, and I don't know how to actually add it to the engine either. I've taken a look at some resources online, such as lazyfoo, and it hasn't really helped me understand. Any help or other resources that could be passed along to me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, I'new here and I'm interested in using Leadwerks Standard Edition, it costs only 92,99 €. I'm a student and I think this price is very good for me. I want to know more about this engine. I've already read that it's light, portable and you can create games not only for Windows., but also for Mac and Linux. •The first thing I want to ask is about the compiler. Will Leadwerks compile my project or do I need a compiler? I usually use MinGW, but I've also a student license for Visual Studio. •If I buy the Standard edition, I'll use C++. Can I always use Lua? I've downloaded the source code of a game, called Minetest, to study it, it's written in C++ but a lot of the code contains Lua by using the syntax: extern "C" { #include <lua.h> //lua code } Can I use this syntax to use both C++ and Lua? •Question about Lua performance. Lua is a language that can be embedded in C++. What about speed? Will lua in my games make it slow? •Can I #include extern libraries? For example, I want to save and load my game, and I need a serialization library. Can I include it in my project? •Can I use Leadwerks for commercial games? Can I sell my games on my own website and what percentage have I to pay? •Is my PC suitable for the installation of Leadwerks? OS Windows 7 64 bit RAM 4 gb Processor Pentium Dual Core 2.5 ghz Graphic card Sapphire Radeon X1550 series. Sorry for the long post and thank you for your answers
