Event handling and 2D graphics for Lua scripts

nclua's Issues

src/nclua.c: Add extra options to the nclua standalone interpreter

Some possible options:
--debug: print debugging information;
--load=FILE; load FILE before running the given script;
--plugin=FILE; load and registers FILE as a new event plugin.
If no input file is given, the nclua interpreter should read chunks from stdin.

src/nclua.c: Add support to run-time config options

These could be given via command-line options, environment variables, or a Lua configuration file (~/.nclua).

nclua/event/tcp_socket.c: Use luaL_Buffer to reduce string copies

Cf. nclua/event/http_soup.c.

src/nclua.c: Add widgets to the interpreter window

It would be nice to have a menu bar, status bar, etc., in the standalone interpreter which could be enable/disabled by some command-line option.

doc: Generate API documentation

We should use ldoc to generate the API documentation.

doc: List the problems with the ABNT standard and ITU-T recommendation

These problems are indicated in comments in the source code. E.g., the standard establishes that the size of canvas:attrFont() is given in pixels. This is probably wrong, as most APIs support only point values. We're thus assuming that font-size is given in points.

better luarocks integration

Update Lua version to a more recent one to enable better usage of luarocks packages. Reported by @danielsm

lib/ncluaw.c: Check event syntax in ncluaw_send()

The nclua_send() function should check the syntax of its event parameter.

nclua/event/tcp_socket.c: Cancel pending operations on disconnect_finished()

The disconnect_finished() function should cancel pending send or receive operations. Otherwise, the "disconnect" event will cause these operations to fail with "Socket closed" error. Currently, to avoid reporting such errors, we check if the socket is connected before dispatching errors.

tests/server.pl: Add HTTP support

Currently, the test server understands no application protocol. If we add basic HTTP support to it, e.g., via an --http flag, we could remove the requirement of Internet connection for the HTTP tests.
