I'm not sure what program I should download to do Lua in. I tried using Notepad++, but I'm not sure how to run my Lua codes exactly...

Search up "LuaBinaries" on Google for a binary executable for use in the command line, or "Lua for Windows" to install Lua on your computer.

Alternatively, LOVE2D is a fantastic 2D game library that uses Lua.

For an editor, a lot of people will recommend Sublime Text, and I agree with them.

@Matt, I already mentioned the Notepad++ thing.

@cop, no I mean the real Lua, not ROBLOX Lua.

I was just backing up Notepad++. lua.exe inside of the Lua installation is a good way to run it ('dofile("file path here kk")'). Rbx.Lua is 'real' Lua, just a variant of it specialized for Roblox's engine.

Actually ROBLOX didn't even change Lua at all, there's just some new functions added and some old ones removed due to security risks.

But the syntax is exactly the same.
