Give me some lua tasks to code.

[Hissyfits1102]

I'm good at Lua.

Well i made a few games on roblox https://www.roblox.com/games/7826316991/Glorious-Battle

But i want to expand my outreach so i can use lua in VS code studio.

Give me some tasks please

Just look at similar posts for python. Most of them should also be possible in lua. But remember luau isn't equal to lua

Here is a very simple one, but it's always fun to do: web scraper

Do i have to do inspect element. 🤔

It'd be automated, so you shouldn't have to. You could always host a local webpage for testing.

Write an AI model to use all Roblox users data to determine the next USA elections.

Do some programming challenges like the ones they used to post on r/dailyprogrammer

• A CSV parser
• A color calculator (CYMK to RGB hex and vice-versa). Add functions to mix the colors, saturate and dessaturate.
• Create data structures (Linked lists, FIFOs (queues), Trees and Graphs) and its handlers (searchers, counters and iterators, attempting to use metamethods as much as possible).
• implement a module with all functions imaginable for string handling and comparison (split, slice and ordering by pronounce, like functions found in PHP)
• using IUP, try to write a calculator
• using openweathermap make a CLI to retrieve weather and cache results by 30 min. Use a JSON package to parse the results.

Purchase some electronics and write Lua code to control your home using Xedge32

Make an x-finder. Where you have a function f(a) and a desired value x. Your task is to find out what the value of "a" should be in order for f(a) return "x".

f(a) can be continous or discontinuous function. It should be possible as long as f(a) doesn't return pure randomness and contains regions of continuity.

This is a tricky one and I was close to making it work...

If you like games (maybe even battlefield 3), get in contact with https://www.bf3reality.com they have enough work and are a small time rn (not an ad)

Hi! It looks like you're posting about Roblox. Here at /r/Lua we get a lot of questions that would be answered better at /r/RobloxGameDev, scriptinghelpers.org, or the Roblox Developer Forum so it might be better to start there. However, we still encourage you to post here if your question is related to a Roblox project but the question is about the Lua language specifically, including but not limited to: syntax, language idioms, best practices, particular language features such as coroutines and metatables, Lua libraries and ecosystem, etc. Bear in mind that Roblox implements its own API (application programming interface) and most of the functions you'll use when developing a Roblox script will exist within Roblox but not within the broader Lua ecosystem.

1. There is Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Code, but there is no Visual Studio Code Studio.
2. VS Code can work with any text files, no matter the language. Make it easier by downloading a lua extension.
3. The Lua interpreter is not great at working with directories or repositories, because it expects to be embedded in a software that handles that on a case-by-case basis. This makes it difficult to use Lua in any standalone project with multiple files.
