About this app

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

The app is available in 22 languages. Lessons need an internet connection.

Ratings and reviews

This is by far the best app if you want to learn lua, they have: AI to help with actual coding Courses going over basics Short infrequent ads The only problem I have is that debugging isn't free, it should be and I don't want to pay premium for debugging. Other than that, it is understandable to have a premium feature and I don't complain. Generally good app.

good but at ls 3 the app won't let me continue 😒 with out going pro (which needs money ₹₹₹)

people say its bad but i like it, its simple and easy, there is ads, but there short and not tht annoying so it doesnt matter to me
