Here you can find a list of all the custom APIs for LunaLua which were developed outside of the core LunaLua project. Custom APIs can be loaded with the require() command at SMBX2 Beta 4+, or with the API.load command at the older LunaLua (loadAPI and loadSharedAPI on versions older than v0.7.3) and SMBX2 Beta 3 and older.
Here is an example of loading an API:
local levelTimer = require("leveltimer")
This code loads the custom API "leveltimer.lua".
Here is a tutorial about how to create your own custom LunaLua library: How To: Make your own custom Lunalua library
Notice: Here are many libraries which were taken into SMBX2 as the default API, or was been deprecated and replaced with newer methods and libraries than presented here. Most of these libraries intended to work with a standalone LunaLua which is no longer receives updates as it was taken as the part of SMBX2. Please visit the official SMBX2 documentation for the documentation of the most of available classes ("Classes" section) and modules ("Modules" section).
