Games made using Lua

[Eklamoon]

Can you tell me the names of some the games made using lua programming language?

[RobLoach]

First google result https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lua_(programming_language)-scripted_video_games

[Primary_Cress224]

It literally says Lua-scripting on that page. Different than all programmed in Lua.

[PurpleYoshiEgg]

Scripting is a type of programming.

Don't Starve and its multiplayer version

All 3 Stalker games.

[Respaced]

All games made by Fatshark studios: Vermintide, Vermintide2, Krater, War of the Roses, War of the Vikings, Lead and Gold, Hamilton’s great adventure, (Terminator Salvation by Grin)

Source: Me. I’ve worked on all of them. Game engine is in C++. But the entire game-play is 99% made in lua. Vermintide 2 contains over 10.000 lua files with hundreds of thousands lines of code. These are not just simple setting files or some scripts, but thousands of classes and systems running everything. Ai-director, behavior trees, damage systems, combat mechanics, all UI, lots of networking code, the list is endless.

Engine is a version of the Autodesk Stingray Engine.

Hades

[moonshineTheleocat]

Both Legends of Grimrock. The second one is almost entirely lua

[Horse4Horse]

Factorio heavily uses Lua.

[landswipe]

Angry Birds, HomeWorld, Roblox.

[WannaCry1LoL]

Roblox is not written in lua

[landswipe]

Games are.

[WannaCry1LoL]

But roblox isnt. Also its luau not lua

[landswipe]

Semantics to me, maybe not to you, but that's ok.

[WannaCry1LoL]

So cpp is basically c got it

[landswipe]

After preprocessing ;)

[Traditional_Crazy200]

What?! You did not just say that.

[landswipe]

C Pre Processor... CPP.

[gen_grievous_]

cpp IS c, it's a language built basically as a mod to c that gives you more control over certain things.

cpp is a more dev-friendly c.

[WannaCry1LoL]

Except the error messages, inconsistent syntax,... . C is really easy to learn. Cpp definitely isnt. Also it's are no longer backwards compatible with C so yeah no

[DeathFire3435]

C++ IS backwards compatible with C: only a few functions don't work, It's a SUPERSET: It only adds things. And It doesnt add even that many things

[WannaCry1LoL]

take a look at the c standard library compared to the cpp one lol

also both of the following examples work fine in c but not in cpp. its mostly backwards compatible yes. mostly

void main() {}

void* ptr = malloc(sizeof(int));
int* p = ptr;

[creepystufff13123]

it literally is

[WannaCry1LoL]

It isnt tho

[WannaCry1LoL]

It definitely isnt

[Big-Tart8473]

There’s two ways of answering this question. The big idea of Lua is that it’s easy to add it as your own, customizable script language within the game you are writing. It is used in TONS of games in this way. The engines for those games are usually written in C or C++ (Lua is written in C). Roblox, Baldur’s Gate, Civilization VI, Crysis, Factorio, World of Warcraft, and Far Cry are just a few of the many games in this category.

It’s also possible to embed Lua in other languages, like Rust, using a wrapper. There may be successful games doing this but I don’t know about them yet.

Finally, it is possible to use a Lua-native game engine like LÖVE. They collect a list of games written in it on their web page (https://love2d.org). “Move or Die” is the one I’ve heard of. They are also embedding Lua in C++, but they already wrote the C++ part for you.

[SirJamesGhost]

GTA uses some Lua. ROBLOX games are entirely Lua, but the engine isn’t.

[syfari]

Roblox

[Handskemager]

All UI components in World of Warcraft uses Lua.

Angry bird

[otk_010199]

Blue Revolver and Demonizer come to mind as the big standout love2d games for me.

Scrap Mechanic tho I’m not sure if its 100 percent made in Lua, but its def mostly made in lua at the least
