lua magic man where is best learning place of lua

for 5.2, this book

for 5.1, another book

for 5.0 which mostly works for 5.1 and 5.2, http://www.lua.org/pil/

but getfenv() and setfenv() were removed in 5.2 so don't get used to using those if you ever do get into lua lol

forget you if you were joking i'm still helpful :D

Should I start with 5.2?

[Kingdaro]

everything i know of uses 5.1, so it's probably good to start with that

i'd link the 5.1 ref. manual, but it's not really a good tutorial

you could probably find a really good tutorial for 5.1 on lua-users

...

yep, here's a list of pages that basically teach you about everything - variables, functions, conditions, etc.

http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory

and in case you need it, here is lua for windows:

https://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/

you can run the lua interpreter by just typing "lua" in the command prompt after installing this.

You should write a program that writes randomly generated paragraphs

then publish it as a novel

it's funny because I posted something like this on here a while ago...

[Kingdaro]

nah, you really could just do

print("stuff")

though

print 'stuff'

is only necessary. i just felt the need to make things way more complicated than they should be, haha
