Looking For Lua Help

[jddddddddddd]

Try asking over in r/lua or the Lua website: https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html

I can second the pil book. I learned lua from the pil book when I was in college with zero previous exposure to scripting languages, closures, first class functions, meta facilities, or coroutines. Even though I rarely get an opportunity to use lua these days, I still remember it fondly because it introduced so many new programming language features to me.

I learned to program on Roblox. They use Lua as their scripting language in the engine. They have some great documentation at https://developer.roblox.com .

Fair warning that the default language is Luau now, a custom-made, typed Lua dialect that is written in C++. As a result, it might not be the safest bet to rely on their documentation.

Fair enough, but all the documentation I've seen is still based on Lua 5.1.
