What Geolua is all about

Multiplayer games

Playing alone can be boring. Geolua provides adventures that can be played with your friends.

If you are a programmer, writing outdoor multiplayer mobile games has never been easier. You can react to players joining your game, make players scan QR codes and guide them to locations.

Using a compass to reach a destination

Want to get to the next waypoint? Geolua adventures might show you a compass. You can easily find locations using your mobile phones. No more punching numbers into GPS devices!

Scanning QR codes

Adventure QR Codes are QR codes in the physical world. They mark places, label hidden treasures or allow you to start an adventure.

If you find an adventure QR code, the adventure might reward you in some ways!

Some adventures require the player to scan the QR code displayed on another players mobile phone. It's an easy way to join a running multiplayer game.

If you are a programmer, you can use this feature to build interesting interactions between players. Visit the documentation to learn more about qr codes.

Developing your own adventures

Geolua adventures are written in the lua programming language. Lua is easy to learn. You can get started by pressing the "Try it" button.

-- My first adventure
geo.event.join(function(event)
    geo.ui.append(event.player_id, geo.widget.text(
        "This can be your first adventure. Click the 'Edit' button below."
    ))
end)

There is documentation to get you started.
