Unfortunately, I am not really in a position at the moment to learn how to compile pdlua.
Which platform are you on? If you're able to get on IRC, #dataflow on irc.freenode.net, I could try and help you get it compiled, and hopefully make it easier for others to compile it too.
I pretty much depend on the extended version (thanks to Hans) for these things. Do your sources automatically update those things?
After some discussion with Hans, we decided that as pdlua is still changing rapidly it would be better to have pdlua as a separate download. Hans, can you confirm that pdlua is no longer included in the pd-extended builds?
I think there is still an old version of pdlua in the pure-data svn repo, if someone can remove it I'd appreciate it, either that or convert it to an svn:external thing against the pdlua development version:
https://devel.goto10.org/svn/maximus/pdlua
[snip]
also note that Pd tables are indexed from 0, unlike Lua's 1-based indexing.
I'm not sure whether to have pd.Table have 1-based indexing like Lua or stick with the Pd-style 0-based indexing (which is what is currently implemented).
How do other implementations do this? Should we look to see how "Vessel" does it in Max? It could be one of those things that turns out to be a "gotcha" for new users who happen to miss that these tables are 0 based, instead of the Lua 1 based...
Good idea, I'll take a look.
