Micro Lua Simulator
Test your scripts without an NDS
MicroLuaSimulator (or abbreviate
MLS) is a very useful utility for
MicroLua developers created by a member of our community,
Ced-le-pingouin. It allows you to test your Lua scripts for NDS directly on your computer.
MicroLuaSimulator also has a debug console!
A good point is that you can use
MicroLuaSimulator on several platforms:
The current version is
0.4 Final.
With
file > open
, you can browse your files and open Lua scripts. You can also pass the script to test as an arg on the command line.
Here is a comparative list between the controls of the DS and those of your computer:
DS | Keyboard |
Up | I or 8 |
Down | K or 5 or 2 |
Left | J or 4 |
Right | L or 6 |
A | D |
B | X |
X | E |
Y | S |
L | A or R |
R | Z or T |
START | Q or F |
SELECT | W or V |
Stylus | Mouse |
You can use some shortcuts in MLS:
Shortcut | Effect |
Ctrl+O | Open a script |
P | Pause the script |
B | Restart the script |
C | Show/Display the console |
DEL | Clear the console |
F1 | Reduce FPS |
F2 | increase FPS |
F3 | Reduce UPS |
F4 | increase UPS |
F5 | increase the log level |
Ctrl+Q | Quit MLS |
Ctrl key is
Command key ("Apple") on Mac OS X.
The
.ini
and
.txt
files are load from the folder of the
mls
executable, but the images are loaded from the script folder. So, be careful to place the files in the right place.
Due to the lack of sound libraries, there is currently no sound in MLS.
