Learn Lua - Game Scripting

Learn Lua — the beginner-friendly language behind Roblox scripting (Luau), game mods and countless tools.

Write and run real Lua code on your phone, with bite-sized lessons, quizzes and an AI mentor that explains every error in plain English.

Heads up: this is a Lua LANGUAGE course, not a Roblox game builder — you'll learn the real coding skills that game scripting is built on.

WHY LEARN LUA?

• Roblox scripts are written in Luau, a language built on Lua — learning Lua is step one to scripting your own games

• Lua also powers World of Warcraft addons, Garry's Mod, Neovim plugins and embedded software

• Lua is one of the easiest first programming languages: small, clean and forgiving

• The concepts you learn here (variables, loops, functions, tables) transfer to every other language you'll ever touch

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Lua basics — variables, types, math and strings

• Control flow — if/else, loops and logic

• Functions and scope

• Tables — Lua's superpower — plus metatables

• Object-oriented programming in Lua

• Error handling and practical scripts you can actually use

• Practice projects — mini scripts that feel like game logic

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LEARN LUA

✔ AI Mentor — confused by a lesson or an error message? Ask anything and get a clear answer in seconds

✔ 100+ bite-sized lessons (5–10 minutes each)

✔ Real code editor — write and run Lua code right on your phone

✔ Quizzes and coding challenges after every topic

✔ Weekly Code Challenge — compete with learners around the world

✔ Certificate of completion — pass the final exam and show off your skills

✔ Streaks and progress tracking to keep you coding every day

✔ App available in 22 languages

WHO IT'S FOR

• Roblox players who want to go from playing games to scripting them

• Complete beginners (young or grown) picking their first language

• Modders and tinkerers who keep bumping into Lua

SETTING EXPECTATIONS (the honest part)

This app teaches the Lua programming language with lessons, practice and a code editor. It does not include Roblox Studio, game assets or a game engine — to publish a Roblox game you'll use Roblox Studio on a computer, and the Lua skills you build here are exactly what you'll need when you get there.
