Learn Lua - Game Scripting

Learn Lua, the small and fast scripting language behind many games, from your first print() to metatables and coroutines. Write code in the built-in editor and run it right on your phone: a Lua 5.3 interpreter runs on the device, so there is no PC and nothing to set up.

Honest heads-up: this is a Lua programming course. It is not Roblox and not a game engine, and it is not made by or affiliated with Roblox Corporation. Roblox scripts are written in Luau, a language built on Lua, so the Lua basics you learn here carry straight over when you open Roblox Studio on a computer.

WHY LEARN LUA?

• Lua is one of the easiest first programming languages: small, readable and forgiving

• Luau scripting, LÖVE (Love2D) games, Neovim plugins, Redis scripts and embedded tools all build on Lua

• Variables, loops, functions and tables carry over to every language you learn next

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• 40 courses and 159 short lessons, from A1 beginner to C1 advanced

• Basics: variables, types, operators, strings and math

• Control flow: if/elseif/else, for loops and while loops

• Functions, closures, scope and iterators

• Tables, Lua's all-in-one data structure, plus metatables and metamethods

• Object-oriented programming, inheritance and a class system from scratch

• Error handling with pcall, modules and require, coroutines

• Game logic scripting and game development with LÖVE

• Advanced: embedding Lua in C, LuaJIT and FFI, OpenResty, Redis scripting and Neovim plugins

CODE MINI GAMES STEP BY STEP

• 20 guided game projects: Pong, Snake, Flappy, Brick Breaker, Space Shooter, Maze Escape, Tower Defense and more

• Each step asks you to write a few lines of code, then checks that the game really does it: the ball moves, the score goes up

• 3 obby-style tracks practise Roblox-style scripting patterns (Parts, Vector3, Touched events, leaderstats) in a simplified simulator, good prep for Luau

• Stuck on a step? Take a hint or reveal the solution

PRACTICE EVERY DAY

• A mobile Lua IDE: code editor with instant runs and clear error messages

• 60 coding missions from easy to hard, with XP

• Quizzes, flashcard reviews and a Lua cheat sheet

• World Coding Challenge: 3 global rounds every day

• Streaks, XP and progress tracking

AI MENTOR

• Ask for help with a lesson or an error message and get a clear explanation

• Free: 3 AI questions a day inside lessons. Pro: unlimited AI mentor chat, the AI lesson generator and AI code review

FREE AND PRO

• Free: the first course, the code editor, 3 game projects, 2 missions, quizzes and the cheat sheet. The free version shows ads.

• Pro (weekly, monthly or yearly subscription): every course, all 20 game projects and 60 missions, unlimited AI mentor, the final exam with a certificate, and no ads.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Complete beginners, young or grown, who want to script games

• Roblox players who want to understand the language behind their scripts before moving to Roblox Studio

• Developers who need Lua for Love2D, Neovim, Redis or embedded scripting
