Hi,
I've made my Lua Quick Reference e-book a free download from
https://orbitalquark.github.io/lua-quick-reference/
Here's the summary:
Lua is a small, fast, powerful, and embeddable scripting language. It is
well-suited for use in video games, application scripting, embedded
devices, and nearly anywhere else a scripting language is needed. This
quick reference contains a wealth of knowledge on how to program in and
embed Lua, whether it is Lua 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, or 5.1. This book can even
be used with LuaJIT, a Just-In-Time compiler for Lua based on Lua 5.1.
Lua Quick Reference groups the language’s features and C API in a
convenient and easy-to-use manner, while clearly marking the differences
between Lua versions.
This book covers:
- Lua syntax, expressions, and statements
- Metatables and metamethods
- Object-oriented programming with Lua
- Creating and working with Lua and C Modules
- Lua’s standard library and its C API
- Collaborative multi-threading in Lua and C
- How to embed and use Lua within a host
- And much more
Cheers,
Mitchell
