To those still loyal from Court-Records
Comments(5) Sorry, B12. I was the anonymous commenter (you can check, the email tied to those posts uses a disposable inbox service called ‘Geurilla Mail’), and I’m glad that the post did not go unheard or unagreed-with (thanks, Nedi and Arakasi).
Now that you’re hearing us again, I think I can come out of hiding here.
I’m a lurker at Court Records (specifically, YOUR topic on the Casemaker), and you haven’t been keeping us updated very much (or at all). It was natural to assume that people would think that you quit or died or something.
The original ETA for this project was February, and, with the exception of a scrapped build and a tech demo, we haven’t really been getting much we can use.
We understand that you’ve been having obstacles and setbacks, but would it kill you to let your fans in on the loop every now and then? Questions have gone unanswered, concerns not allayed, and there’s a famine of information all over.
We feel a little…forsaken.- NoxedWin
After reading the above comment from NoxedWin (which he had posted almost 6 months ago) again, I have realized something was due.
The main reason for LuAA’s halt was the lack of a sufficient Lua engine for the Nintendo DS platform. MicroLua and DSLua were both insufficient for the tasks a casemaker was held up to perform. It was my original plan to create the tequiLua engine for the Nintendo DS, which I had announced after finc’s announcement of his Lua port for the Nintendo DS. Thus, out of courtesy, I chose to abandon my project so not to compete with his, considering he had announced it earlier.
Ever since, I’ve been checking his blog every week or so to see if any updates have been started on his Lua port. In order for LuAA to progress, I needed an engine to support it. Due to waiting for this port, I have taken on many small and large projects (web administration jobs, small C++ homebrew projects, web design jobs, Java applet development jobs) and am even now overwhelmed with a major project of my own.
Thus, I have chosen to announce the abandonment of this project. I am sorry.
The source code will be released sometime within the next 2 months.
