I'm thinking about using the scripting language Lua in one of my projects. Can anyone give me a review on its usefulness/ ease of use?
-
I haven't really used LUA before but I think that someone make an app to make games with it.
From what I can understand it is pretty erasy to use, however, the language which I have read the most songs about is Python :P

Its very slow and im not sure you can compile it... I think its an interpreted language. Not sure tho. Check out the game programming project "LÓVE" it uses it i think.
-
This (http://www.biggerplanet.com/playkode) looks useful and I think it uses LUA.

Im using an intel mac....

I believe there are several game engines that use Lua, though most are for Windows. You might also wanna look into Ruby.
