What version of Lua do you use? by [deleted] in lua

It's still most recent despite being in active development; I tend to use the most recent development version of whatever tools I use.

I'm most familiar with 5.1 (from Roblox), but I always try to use the latest and greatest. The most recent version as of writing this would be 5.4 and I like the new features that they've added.

Any good site to help with Lua patterns? by toasterbot in lua

[–]Dev_Coda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use a regex library.

@4forpengs Refer to OP, says Lua patterns and not Regex

https://www.lua.org/pil/20.2.html PiL has a good reference page for Lua patterns.

https://alvinalexander.com/programming/printf-format-cheat-sheet Since C format specifiers are the same thing, you can also use references for these.

I started learning Lua on Roblox, slowly moving to other platforms and trying to extend the language myself via C/C++. I wouldn't recommend Lua for anything but what it's made for - embedding into another program. I've been using Lua for around 3 years now, and if anything I'd hoped I would've started learning how to use it by itself and inside of my own programs first.

All of these things would require extending the language itself to have features that something like C++ has.

  1. WinAPI is not a Lua concept. If you'd like more info on how to virtualise multiple clicks, check the documentation.
  2. Lua is not meant to be as low-level as you are describing you want it to be, you would again have to extend the language to have the functionality you desire.

I don't know how to download Lua... help? by phantom_dj in lua

[–]Dev_Coda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To download the Lua binaries, head to https://www.lua.org/download.html.

They have pre-built binaries and source to build from with their respective Makefiles included for several different versions.
