Mastering Lua Programming: Learn Lua from Scratch and Build Games with Love2D and Roblox
by Darth C. Pena
Unlock the power of Lua programming-one of the fastest, most flexible scripting languages-and transform your ideas into playable 2D games and interactive Roblox experiences. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced coder seeking to add Love2D and Roblox scripting to your toolkit, this comprehensive guide delivers concise, up-to-date content and hands-on projects that accelerate your learning curve.
Why This Book Is Different
From day one, you'll work with complete, production-ready examples rather than fragments. Each chapter builds on the last, guiding you through core Lua syntax, tables and data structures, modules and I/O, error handling, and best practices for clean, performant code. Dive into Love2D's game loop, learn how to script dynamic animations, and master Roblox Studio's event-driven model-all without fluff or filler.
What You'll LearnLua Fundamentals: Variables, control flow, functions, closures, coroutines, and metatables explained clearly.Real-World Projects: Build a CLI calculator, batch file renamer, text formatter, inventory tracker, to-do list manager, and more.Game Development with Love2D: Install and configure Love2D, use love.load, love.update, love.draw, handle keyboard input, and create a bouncing-ball animation.Roblox Scripting: Set up Roblox Studio, write server and client scripts, manipulate parts, handle click events, and build interactive door-opening mechanics.Clean Code & Performance: Avoid memory leaks, optimize loops and tables, refactor projects into modules, and adopt industry-standard coding style.Key Features & BenefitsStep-by-Step Learning Path: Progress from "Hello, Lua" to complete game projects in record time.Hands-On Exercises: At least one executable mini-project per chapter reinforces concepts and builds your portfolio.2025-Ready Coverage: All code reflects the latest Lua 5.4+ practices, Love2D trends, and Roblox API updates.Expert Author: Darth C.
