Hi all im posting this thread. For everyone thats interested in dev/ing With lua.
I think its a nifty little program. And I also think its The perfect starters tool For aspireing developers to learn To code.
What I Submit this thread be. Is a learning center, Where coders come in and paste there script code. proven methods that have worked and ideas they wish to share. So others can learn from this. you can also post code with errors in it that you are haveing problems with and maybe somone can help with the answers. for the first entry. I will give An alter verson is shines Snake code.
That I aletred myself in a first attempt. This was just for kicks to see if the program worked. it does!. But here it is. Although I doubt somwhat it will be of any use to anyone. this script Is finished, And 100% Working :p

If you have any script that works with lua please post it here. Im sure there are a lot of people who could learn from it:D
"Shadowprophet" Cause he thinks lua is just the complete bomb-digity
This thread could really help the aspireing developers comunity:D
So please by all means contrubute!! :cool:
