deck where did you learn to set up this games commands there are no Demo videos on how to program games with this. So really what I'm asking is can you help teach me?
Hi, neither I knew how to use lua when I started to develop the game. First at all, you need to know at least one programming language (better if object oriented). Then, I suggest you to study from here:
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/
http://lua-users.org/wiki/ObjectOrientationTutorial
these are the things that I've done before start. Of course, for the rest you need to try by yourself, so start with some basic stuff like render a sprite, move into the screen, etc.
Every time you get stuck use google to get some help. That's all :)
