What is Lua?
| Quote: |
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
"Lua" (pronounced LOO-ah) means "Moon" in Portuguese. As such, it is neither an acronym nor an abbreviation, but a noun. More specifically, "Lua" is a name, the name of the Earth's moon and the name of the language. Like most names, it should be written in lower case with an initial capital, that is, "Lua". Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write "Lua" right!

Official Lua Wiki:

The wiki has tons of examples, snippets, libraries and such which can come in handy when working on in depth projects.
Official Lua Mailing List:
http://www.lua.org/lua-l.html
Official Lua Forums:
http://forum.luahub.com/
The forums are a bit less then used. The Lua community still uses their mailing list more than the forums.

It already is in CE. Download CE 6.x and check out main.lua in the CE folder for more information regarding whats exposed.

You can use it to make a trainer (or GUI),or to automate something,for example,auto-attach to a process (useful in a cheat table or trainer),almost everything that you can do with CE can be done with Lua.
You can also use it to make more complex auto assemble scripts.
This code:
| Code: |
00430000:
{$lua}
if getCEVersion() == 6.4 then
return 'push esi';
else
return 'mov eax,ecx';
end
{$asm} |
would assemble push esi if CE's version is 6.4,and mov eax,ecx otherwise,this (kind of metaprogramming) is really useful in some cases.

Read main.lua in CE's directory.
