LÖVR

LÖVR is a framework for making VR games with Lua! Inspired heavily by LÖVE. Still under heavy development.

Example

In a directory called myGame, create a file called main.lua:

function lovr.update(dt)
  print(lovr.headset.getPosition())
end

Then, start the OSVR server and run your game:

$ cd path/to/myGame
$ lovr .

Dependencies

• LuaJIT
• GLFW (3.2+) and OpenGL (3.2+)
• assimp
• OSVR-Core

Compiling

Windows (CMake)

• Install Boost 1.57 to C:\local\boost_1_57_0.
• Download and extract a pre-built OSVR-Core.
• Install lovr-deps:

cd lovr
git clone --recursive https://github.com/bjornbytes/lovr-deps deps

Finally, build using the CMake GUI or using the CMake command line. Make sure you pass the OSVR_PATH option:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DOSVR_PATH=/path/to/osvr-core ..

This should output a Visual Studio solution, which can be built using Visual Studio or by using CMake:

cmake --build .

OSX (tup)

brew tap OSVR/osvr
brew install assimp glfw3 luajit osvr-core
