Lua 101

I would use quote tags, the code tags are pretty poor on this forum.

i will need to referance this often, i am learning html at highschool, c++ at colledge as a dual enrolled student (all my classes + colledge) so lua will be too much to memorise. but this page will help endlessly. i personaly prefer the ide as opposed to the sdk, i dont like the way it operates. i suppose i will force my self to get over it. C++ is better, though more work.

The Lua language itself is tiny and very BASIC/Pascal/C like. If you know C/C++, you can pick up the basics of Lua in less then a week (excluding all the metatable material). Don't get confused by people you regard LuaPlayer *as* Lua. 90% of the functions mentioned here are *purely* for LuaPlayer and not Lua.

Added note: An IDE is useless on it's own, you will need to setup a compiler or SDK with the IDE build any program (in regards to compile languages [eg C] )
