Lua IDE

Looks official, integrates into the native files which is nice and allows sharing code for collaboration. It has huge potential as a convenient pocket learning tool. But I’m not even five minutes into using this software and already noticing that for some reason C-style escape sequences are formatted into the code once you close and reopen a script. Like if I type “\n”, the next time I open the app there will literally be a new line in the source code. That already puts me off using it. It just needs polishing…

Learning lua this looked like a great tool, however it has a few shortcomings 1) support I could not find any way to ask a question 2) How can I get this app to use modules e.g lua sockets. 3) no pinch/zoom support 4) no ‘select all’ option for text

Cant get it to run in ios17

I’m so happy you found

We need a delay function please add it

All of its really good but can we add “Wait()”? Because it’ll help me and maybe us a ton!

Good way to code using Lua, if you’re looking to program a game, for Roblox or other things which use Lua, on mobile this is the app for you. The language is high quality and very simple to use 8/10.

Thanks for making this great, basic Lua IDE for the iPad. Compared to other Lua apps, this Lua IDE is the easiest to use, and the most straightforward. As the image suggests lots of room to write script, run your script, and see the outcome in the console below. Uses iCloud for easy storage of scripts and free! Would recommend for anyone coding or learning basic Lua. Didn’t give 5 stars because doesn’t come with additional modules that are often utilized when writing more complex Lua scripts.
