LuaEdit

With the evolution of programming languages, various applications and interfaces have been developed to make coding available to la larger public. From building applications to video games, a solid set of lines of code is required, as well as a great level of knowledge. Amongst others, LuaEdit is a friendly environment in which you can create scripts in the suggested language.

Coming equipped with an incredibly intuitive interface, the application throws enthusiasts directly into the creation process. Most of the space is taken up by the input field, with a small toolbar putting all editing and processing options at your fingertips. Several analysis utilities such as a breakpoint manager, output viewer, locals explorer and more, are cleverly stored in tabs and can be accessed through a dedicated side panel.

Considering you already know the basics of the Lua programming language, you can simply start coding. A syntax highlighter is implemented so that you can clearly spot any potential errors and get a clever overview of your project. What's more, a few customization options are available so you can color elements to suit your style.

At any given moment you can take the progress out for a spin through debugging. An integrated function looks up any errors in your lines of code and highlights them. The application does not limit you to the tools it comes equipped with, giving you the possibility to attach your script to a machine and even create a list of external application to aid with your project.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that LuaEdit is a practical application overall, with a simple interface that gets you quickly up and running. What's more, implemented tools are at your fingertips for increased efficiency, with the possibility to further enhance this by setting up several external applications to help you out.
