Hi,  
Can someone explain how to use the ‘example LUA patches’ shown here:

> **[GitHub - critterandguitari/EYESY\_oFLua\_Examples: openFrameworks / Lua...](https://github.com/critterandguitari/EYESY_oFLua_Examples)**
>
> openFrameworks / Lua examples for the EYESY. Contribute to critterandguitari/EYESY\_oFLua\_Examples development by creating an account on GitHub.

The graphics look awesome! But there seems to be no tutorials or step-by-step how-to get these to work with the Eyesy, on forums, Youtube, or anywhere I’ve looked.

It would be great if someone can post some links or leads to understand how to do it for a non-coding-expert like myself?

Thank you in advance!

> We have a beta version of the new video generation environment available for download. Currently the EYESY generates video using Python and the PyGame framework. This setup is great and easy to use, but it doesn’t take advantage of any hardware acceleration. This disk image uses the new environment based on openFrameworks and allows you to code video modes in the Lua scripting language, taking full advantage of the EYESY’s 3D graphics capabilities. This download is intended for people who are …

But yeah, not amazingly documented currently
