Heya, and welcome to the forums :)
I hope you get started with Lua, as its a fun language to learn (and not so hard).

And as others noted, don't be shy on asking questions, there is always someone here that can help you ;)

Lua / Re: Lua problems and bugs

Well, maybe ")" is a valid pattern, and doesn't cause an error. I didn't look yet into the details, but I will do that later.

Lua / Re: Lua problems and bugs

Well, the reason for the first 'bug' (it isn't actually a bug) is because "(" is a magic character.
The second argument to string.find is a pattern, so it is parsed as a pattern, and if there is an error in it it will report it. To search for "(" just escape it with "%".
Example:
string.find(str, "%(")

More info on this at http://www.lua.org/pil/20.2.html.

Anyway, nice topic :)

Remove the (Chinese) from the url :)

Edit: ninja'd (or grilled)

It brought me to a page full of ads, didn't see anything interesting, even when translated.
I'll check again :)

Edit: Indeed, the link just has little problem. So no bot after all :)
Thanks cztian for the link!

Hmm, I think you can make Lua games that out perform C games ;)
Its just a matter of picking the right one, and spending lots of work on it.

1387
Maybe, but I'm not sure since there is an additional led on the top, the form factor is a bit different and it has less memory.

1388
Hmm, maybe they remove it to make it cheaper. Normal students don't need stuff like the lab station. My guess it that it will become a budget calculator.

Thanks to Inspired Lua for this page !
I'm glad you liked it :)
I have actually wrote a better, simpler version, but haven't taken the time to upload it.

So many games \o/

Whooo, nice news!
Thanks for reporting Adriweb!

Edit: I have successfully compiled it on Linux (need to replace -leay32 with -lssl).
However, I noticed that Luna will check the code (using lua), and error on stuff with 'on', because its not defined (it is on the calculator). I'll now modify the code to skip this check. Big mistake of me x)

Edit2:
Converted my file without an error, didn't test it yet :)

Nice Deep :)

Math and Science / Re: Loop all possible words algorithm

ephan, here is a working python version (fixed your code):
Code: (Python) [Select]

def increment(x):
    """Increments the string x"""
    length_of_string = len(x)
    if length_of_string == 0:
        return "a"
    bt = ord(x[-1:])
    if bt < 122:
        x = x[:-1] + chr(bt+1)
    else:
        x = increment(x[:-1]) + "a"
    return x
   
def main():
    """Displays all possible words using alphabet a-z"""
    a = "a"
   
    for i in range(1000):
        a = increment(a)
        print a
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

ephan, I'll give you a tip: Lua starts with 1, python with 0 :)
(/me waits for the beating)

@Levak, lol
