Changes: Lua

Revision as of 04:59, 13 March 2006

Lua is an extremely useful scripting language. You can learn more about it at their Wiki.

The Reference Manual is a useful resource for finding out about the syntax and basic commands, but is a little heavy-going if you've not got a programming background.

Check also the Lua Book.

A list of editors for Lua:

1. QDE (Shareware) Quotix Development Environment for Lua. It supports project management, autocomplete functionality, a multi-document interface, debugging and much more. Sadly doesn't include a debug mode to test scripts with.

2. BLua (Open Source) Under development and will, in time, hopefully provide a useful IDE for WoW Lua script development.

3. LuaEdit (Open Source) Complete professional looking Lua IDE - Windows 98/2000/XP

4. LuaIDE (Freeware) Integrated development environment for Lua for Windows

5. Vortex-LuaIDE (Freeware) Outra IDE para Lua gratuita, mas em Português!

6.Zeus for Windows (Shareware) IDE with Lua syntax highlighting, code folding, project management, integrated version control. The IDE is fully scriptable using Lua

7. TextPad (Shareware) Not an official Lua IDE however, with an available syntax file available as an addon provides great syntax highlighting.

8. Edit+ (Shareware) Not an official Lua IDE however, with an available syntax file available as an addon provides great syntax highlighting.
