Lua Coding 101

Ever wanted to know how to code in lua? Homebrew developer Glynnder has just announced that in line with his recent coding break, he has set up a tutorial for lua coding over at the boards. Now, before you get started on the (free) session, be reminded that you will need the following tools:

• The latest version of Lua Devkit
• Lua Player (preferably versions v0.16, v0.17DK2, v0.20, or v0.20MOD3
• Notepad++ (in case Lua Devkit doesn’t work)

Lua coding provides a relatively simple interface to work with, hence making it a favorite for newcomers just getting used to coding for a PSP. As Glynnder explains comparisons of “C” and Lua codes:

• “#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf(“hello world”); return 0;} That is ‘hello world’ in C“
• “print(“hello world”)  That is ‘hello world’ in lua“

There’s also the long list of heavy-hitting lua games that are out as of late, like Quest of Link by Zion. For now, anybody who wishes to learn the ropes of PSP coding in Lua can access Glynnder’s tutorial via the discuss link. Enjoy!
