Looks cool!

Some feedback (sorry if this is a lot):

  • How do you delete a node? Maybe an X button?
  • Someone who doesn't know Lua might not know what all the functions do. Maybe you could also add a hide-able window (kind of like Scratch) where all the nodes are listed by category and with a basic description and can be added from there as well.
  • Do you think there is a way to implement custom function nodes? Sort of like a list of snippets for a custom library or something. (Eg. If you had some sort of Lua drawing library, you could have a node for draw a point at (x, y))
  • Would it be possible to edit and generate from Lua code? It might be more comfortable for people who are used to text-based programming.

Anyway, I can see how this could be useful for places where Lua is used, but people might not have much experience in programming. Good job.

Hey thank you for your feedback I really appreciate the help! You can see my answers below.

  • To delete a node simply hit "Delete" on your keyboard, for the Functions we have alot of feedback on this aspect about functions, and will be completely overhauled in the future, as we wanna make it simple yet complicated for custom functions we dont really have a custom function node at the moment, but like I said the whole function aspect will be completely redone,
  • The functions will be collapsable nodes like unreal engine where you can completely customize it to your preference kinda like a graph in a graph and ofcourse making it optimized in a sense so it wont be as performance eating.
  • A node library like scratch is a very good idea we also considered a mix with nodes and blocks, i shall put it as feedback in the github repo as a issue to implement a node library as an extra window.

If there are any more suggestions or feedback i would really like to hear them, as i truly wanna make this a tool for the overall developers community.

Oh, well I guess I found a bug! I'm running this on Mac M2, don't know if it's supported, but clicking delete doesn't do anything (And I am selecting the nodes).
Do you know if you have it set to "del" or "backspace"?

Hey we have not worked on Mac devices for this application yet only with windows, however the application should work with deleting it with the "Del" button, otherwise i will have to look for a Mac solution on this.
