Lua Editor

Crazyman32's Lua Editor

Crazyman32's Lua Editor is a text editor designed specifically to write and run pure Lua code. It is currently in its early alpha stages, meaning that it is not yet fully complete. The editor is a great tool to use when wanting to practice Lua quickly and offline. The editor is also a great resource to use when learning Lua, as you can swiftly write in code and run it.


The editor comes with live build/compilation capabilities, which means that the editor will tell you if there are any syntax errors, while you write your code. You can then run the code as well. Handy shortcuts are built in as well. F5 will run whatever is in the editor right away.

Another fun inclusion with the editor is auto-indentation and auto-completion. Therefore, when you write a new 'if then' or other block creation line, the editor will put the 'end' necessary into the code when you press Enter.

The Lua Editor is built 100% with Java. Lua is then interpreted with an API called LuaJ, which is the C version of Lua written in Java and still fully open-source.

You can keep up with the latest updates with the Editor by visiting the project's main page on SourceForge:
