For the most part I'm using lua just to show memory address values on the screen.
Example:
while true do
gui.text(10,10, "Boss health: " ..memory.readbyte(0xA123))
-- will display the value of address 0xA123 at the coordinates (10/10) on the emulator screen
emu.frameadvance
-- can also be vba.frameadvance or snes9x.frameadvance, depending on the emulator
end
You can also use dependencies:
while true do
a = memory.readbyte(0xA123)
if a < 0 then z = 1000 else z = 10 end
gui.text(10,z, "Boss health: " ..a)
-- Will display the message only when 0xA123 contains a value greater than 0.
emu.frameadvance
end
There are many more examples...
Well, as far as I know, Desmume uses a different way of saying "while true do". Someone else will have to explain...
