hello

i need to make a presentation about a scripting language. i chose Lua  :D

but i need some things for this:
1) able to script in lua, do i just need notepad, or is there a specific editor for it?

2) make some scripts with lua (put 'hello world' on the screen, and get the answer of 1+2+3+4...+10)

As i want to learn more of lua than just this, i would like to have some suggestions :)

thanks in advance already!

Everything could have been anything else and it would have just as much meaning.

In case you didn't browse to it, or got confused by bastya's multiple urls in his sig, here are the editors to use to greatly assist your lua scripting experience:

( for #2, choose one that let's you incorporate the help file into it.)

thanks a lot :)

i tried my little script on it.
with this script i get the answer of 1+2+3..+9+10 :)

Quotea=0

a=a+i

print(a)

is there any way in PSPad (2nd editor from above) to check if the answer (must be 52) is correct?

Nop,  doubt it , as far as i know its not possible, a pad is a pad and nothing more .

I think he meant debugging. As such, SciTE or LUAEdit (which is not on the wiki yet) are recommended, along with the print function.
