The Powder Toy

Hello all,

I have some ideas and such for new powder toy scripts, and I think it would be fun to be able to do them myself. Does anyone have any good website or resource suggestions on Lua scripting for beginners?

I think that you'll find this useful: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

Once you have learned lua, you can go here to learn how to code new elements: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Lua_API:Elements.html.

This one is also useful: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Element_Properties.html

Some people find the lua tutorials boring and prefer edit a prexisting lua file. You can find lots of them in the forum. This one is good: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=18576.
