I love LUA!     check out Defold Game Engine  I use this engine and it uses Lua.  :)     Also check out LOVE2d another Lua game engine.

I financially supported Defold for a while and the developers personally will help you with projcts,  Defold is kinda similar to Godot. LOVE2d is a text based editing-  but makes nice 2d games.

Godot uses mainly Python as its main scripting language so Godot and Defold both are easy to script on.

All of these are free:

Defold (I wrote a 2d port of Rabbits vs Marbles on this) https://defold.com/https://defold.com/   Defold Game Engine <<< Best forum support of any game engine period

LOVE2d https://love2d.org/  the LOVE2D Game Engine=  one of the simplest engines to learn period.

Godot (what my current 3d version of Rabbits vs Marbles is written on.)  Godot  One of the most powerful game engines on market, PYTHON based.

BTW you could definitely calculate orbits and trajectories in LUA-  it is just as powerful as any other high level language.

If you want to work on any projects together let me know.

In all honesty game making helps me handle hospice so much better.

2020 Hindsight:
Hi jbskaggs,

For the next couple of weeks I'm not going to get chance to look at the game engines. For one thing I need to find a replacement car in the next two weeks - the corroded sub-frame isn't economically repairable. So first thing I need to do is decide what type of car I want next. And I suppose I should buy some Christmas presents for the relatives too.

But at least I have installed a new 1TB SSD in my laptop today, so I actually have space to install new packages for the first time in months!

I've never played with a game engine. But back in the 80's I wanted to becoming a games programmer. Would Joust be easy to write using one of these game engines? &ab_channel=OldClassicRetroGaming[/youtube]

I have done some programming in Python, so possibly Godot would be an easy route? I'll have to have a look and see how steep the learning curve is.

jbskaggs:
Once you understand nodes and vectors (which you might already)  you could make joust in Godot in about a day or so if you have the graphics and sounds ready.

Well of course Godot is free as well. :) 

Good luck on a car-  Used Volksagon's are excellent bang for the buck for those on budget.


Btw in programming joust in Godot the key would be to have two collision shapes on the enemy. One on the front if you collide it takes a life, the second on the rear that if you collide kills the enemy.    Unlike some other engines you can have several collision shapes ea with their own scripts and signals.

some edited and new towers on my game

more models for my game.
