Are there any Lua compilers? I really like Lua's syntax, but also really need performance. I was hoping to use Lua, but I can use nim. So is there any Lua to c/Lua to asm compiler? If not, I guess I'll use Nim. submitted by /u/Germisstuck [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The Xedge32 IDE, similar to Visual Studio Code but running in the browser, can be installed onto an ESP32 microcontroller directly from your browser. Perfect for beginners, this guide from Shilles Coding Tutorials walks you through the basics of the Lua programming language, showing how simple it is to set up your device and start scripting. https://youtu.be/2aunWZx-Hs0?si=WIHgJs9UBWixaVo- submitted by /u/SoCalSurferDude [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone, I am working on a project on Linux Mint Cinnamon, using the app Conky to run a .lua script to display a randomly chosen .png image. I started with this script that displays a predetermined image: https://dpaste.org/vE9F4 Then I gave this script to an online .lua generator, asking to add a number randomizer for 1-49 and that it then display random number .png. Unfortunately, this is changing the image and displaying a different picture every second: https://dpaste.org/HR9Kt Can anyone fix the above script so that it generates a random number from 1-49 inclusive, displays only t ..read more

Code: EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true) // Enables LMB clicks to be registered, apparently all other mouse buttons are already enabled. function OnEvent(event, arg) OutputLogMessage("Event: "..event.." Arg: "..arg.."\n") // Corr ..read more

Hello! I would like learn Lua for better understanding for gamedev. I have little experience in few languages. I tried to install LunarVim, but... I even cannot understand how to install "make" from prerequisites for Windows. Also, I prefer open source, so, I avoid Sublime Text, Jet Brais or Visual Studio. At first time I need only training and practice Lua language in Windows. Are the best items for begginer: 1) VScode with Lua extention; 2) NotePad++; But may be I did overlook something else? submitted by /u/Alternative-Owl-932 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I seem to spend 90%+ of my coding time on debugging / trying to figure out why something isn't working, and so I'm wondering if anyone has any general tips on how to debug more efficiently. I use a lot of print() statements to look at variables and stuff, but I wonder if there's anything more I could do to speed along my debugging process. I should mention that I'm not the most experienced coder, and am relatively new to lua. Also, I saw in the debug library / manual (?) (https://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/debug.debug) that apparently you can use debug.debug to "enter an interactive mode with the us ..read more
