Orwell, the next ver should improve this:

require("draw")
showgraph()
fullscreen(0)
keypad(0)

function move()
local pictht,pict
pictht=draw.capture()
draw.pict(-2,-15,pictht)
draw.line(159,225,159,225-30*math.random())
draw.update()
end

repeat move() until testkey(K_EXE)

The memory will crash! I cant continue my game!

The memory will crash! I cant continue my game!

there is a memory leak with pict.capture().
try to use pict.screen() or pict.buffer() until the next version of CPLua.

I suggested something in the other topic, but I had no comments... I really would like to have your opinion about this before releasing CPLua 0.9 :

Currently, doing

require("myLib")

is the same as

require("main/myLib")

because there is no package in CPLua called "mylib", and thus it searches in the "main" folder if no folder is specified.

I just thought that it would perhaps be easier if CPLua searched in the folder of the file that calls require(). To be more precise:
Suppose you have a folder "Fol" with 2 files A and B.
If the file A requires the file B, you will have to write

require("Fol/B")

at the beginning of file A. My suggestion is that

require("B")

is equivalent to

require("Fol/B")

because A is in the folder "Fol". I think it would be easier if you want to rename folders etc, then you wouldn't have to change all the paths.
Note: if you call require() from a new file (not saved), and if no folder is specified, CPLua would then look in the "main" folder.

It sounds good. I think Lua should also have a cpp-style search for required files. I mean, when you write requite("A"), first it should look in the folder that the current file is.
If the file didn't exist there, look for the file in the CP's current folder.
If the file didn't exist there, look for the file in the 'main' folder.
And so on...

The above procedure exists in the standard Lua, but I guess you have removed it in CPLua because ClassPad's folders are too much complicated.

require("B")

Yes, it's better that way. I personally include the folder name in all require() statements, but if you omit it, the default folder should be the folder of the calling script.

What else will be included in version 0.9?
