[v0.11] Katawa Shoujo PSVita port

[sudovim]

So after InnocentSam said he didn't have time to work on the port of KS to PSV anymore cus of university stuff I started working with him to try finishing it. I ended up porting the entirety of Monday to Sunday and it works pretty well in Love2D (PC/Mac/Linux) but have not tested much on the Vita itself.

Please note that this is a very early release and bugs are gonna be there; please report them here so I can fix them (or I send them to sam because its an engine problem...)

Wow! this is really incredible. I never thought that Ren'Py can be port to Vita via love2d! Great work, I am curious how you reimplemented Ren'Py's system on love2d. If possible, could you briefly talk about your approach and what did you do to accomplish that. Many thanks!

I'll let InnocentSam answer this since he's the one who wrote the engine/sdk All i'm doing is improving his codebase for the port

If you take a look at the March22-Lua sdk folder, you'll see the code for RPYtoLua, which algorithmically parses RPY script into M22 Lua script. A lot of it was recycled from my RPYtoEBook converter, just with a better algo for recognizing decisions and such (since Python does parenthesis via indentation... whoever thought this was a good idea should die).

Love2D doesn't touch the Vita at all; it's simply used for running the same project on PC (with a very small amount of modification, such as text size/line width) for either debugging or multi-platform support.

Lets say you wanted to exit the game. In March22/script, you'd call "System.exit()", as per lpp-vita standards. When run on Vita, this works out of the box since it's built using lpp-vita. On PC, it just acts as a middle-man for the Love2D exit function, because Lua is pretty good at function overriding

Hopefully this clarifies some bits!

Thanks! I am now wondering any possibility of running other RenPy games on vita . Will look into it and try to work out something. I am a experienced RenPy programmer but new to love2d(tho have known it for long). Anyway,thx man you really rock!
