LUA script tool for mac?
« on: July 10, 2011, 09:56:38 pm »
Hey guys. Im pretty new to programing and stuff and i need to know if someone knows about a lua script tool for mac osx computers.  I have searched google high and low for something to do this with and cannot find anything. if there is something on ti's website than i need someone with a windows computer to email it to me because ti's website does not have mac support for downloads.

Thanks in advance.

Hi honchell12, welcome to Omnimaga :)

What do you mean by "lua script tool"? If you're looking for a Lua to TNS converter (TNS being the filetype of an Nspire document), there are a few converters listed here.

What he said, both LUA>TNS and the Python one are cross-platform so they work on Macs :)

EDIT: There are also the online ones, which are cross-platform too :)

 the lua to tns converters i will need, but not right now.  Im trying to learn the language and am looking for a compiler that is NOT distributed in source code(like the ones on lua's official website).  The reason for this is my computer is lacking the "make" command so i cannot install the lua compiler from its source code. if anyone knows of a freeware lua compiler for mac than please share.

Thanks!

You don't need a Lua compiler - Lua is an interpreted language, and the Nspire will interpret it for you (if you've converted it to the TNS format). Or are you looking for a interpreter that can be run on a computer?

I'm working on a Mac, and if you just want to program for the Nspire, just download LUAtoTNS.sh (here) or the python's script that will convert your .lua files to .tns files (for OS 3.0.1) (available on TI-Bank, here, ticalc etc.)

cypressx1: there's Lua for Windows at http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/, and most Linux distros should offer a package in their repositories (or you could even build from source).

EDIT: You know what would be cool? An online Lua interpreter.

Yeah, I use that one. I really like the IDE they have in it (SciTE) :D

Btw, if you're looking for a nice Lua editor, I use BBEdit with a nspire-lua plugin I made, I can give it to you if you want
