Are there any CC Emulators which are working on Linux (in my case Ubuntu 13.10)? I'm not talking about Sorroko's emulation which was written for love2d, I like it, but love2d kinda hates me and crashes at almost every script D:

So, are there any?

Pls answer, I need it very much…

Thx for the (hopefully existing) posts. :)/>

Love2D has Linux support. Either gamax92's or Sorroko's should work on it, but I haven't tested them.

I tried the linux version of love2d… It either crashes with a lua error or it doesn't even open D:

What is the lua error? Also, are you using the LOVE PPA, or Ubuntu's repositories? You should probably use the PPA. https://launchpad.net/~bartbes/+archive/love-stable

Tested both…

I can't check it right now, I'll tell you later…

CCDesk being written in Java, it should work for Linux as well.

i'd like a linux emulator that works on the fb/ncurses library rather than the X Windowing system myself…
i have a cunning project for one using an embedded Olimex Olinuxino board and a tiny 10cm wide TV i have lying around…
plus some cardboard, and some wire…

yes, basically a real life CC terminal in a small cuboid box… with full bundled wire output to real wires :)/>

i could even make an actual turtle… i have a Big Trak, which i'm half way through replacing its brain with an Arduino… i could just use the Arduino to control the motor systems/ "cerebellum" , and CC on linux to be the "cerebral cortex"

but i need an open source emulator which isn't GUI environment dependent…

GravityScore has made one in JS, as I hear, but I also hear that it only works on OS X. Though with enough hacking it shouldn't be too hard to port it or to make a wrapper for Windows or Linux.

I was also planning in making one in Python, but as I've said a few too many times, I an seriously reconsidering whether I will even make it and my choice of language - the only Lua VM I can find for Python uses LuaJIT, and I want LuaJ.

not with the new JS version… previous versions were OSX only, he was making an SDL version but gave up and decided on node.js
