There seem to be more powerful Lua editors for macOS. I don't write in Lua, but a google search pulled up: https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio and it looks a lot more professional/well-maintained than the Lua Studio Mac port you linked. I'd prefer to add ZeroBraneStudio instead of LuaStudio.

Thanks for contributing!

[codeservice]

Excellent choice! Only ZeroBraneStudio does not support LuaStudio libraries. It is possible integrate these libraries with any plugin based popular IDE like Eclipse or IntlliJ IDEA. LuaStudio exporter project has all necessary steps to make this possible.

Agree LuaStudo has simple and basic editor which was made without intention to be best, General idea make something simple to start using OpenGL libraries without tricky integration.

[alichtman]

Hmm, let's hold off on this until a collaborator that knows Lua can comment.

I don't know enough about this to make an educated decision.

[xcv58]

I do know Lua a little bit. Will investigate these choices after work.

[xcv58]

I try both IDE. Seems not very excited. Especially that LuaStudio is not actively maintained: https://github.com/luaforge/lua-studio (I probably find wrong repo).

[jaywcjlove]

I did not study LUA and need more comments.

@alichtman I agree with your handling.

[codeservice]

I think maybe more proper place for this project here: https://github.com/ellisonleao/magictools
I added it as game development tool: ellisonleao/magictools@7e720b7
LuaStudio more related to cross-platform graphics programming, specifically to game development. Adding it as Mac game development tool could be confusing.

If you have any problems with app evaluation simply close this pull request.

Thanks for your understanding @codeservice !
