Tutorials

For going throught the tutorials you will require

• Luxinia 1.x (test release in forum)
• Estrela Editor, our wxLua based editor serving as Luxinia IDE, code completion, api tooltips... (open-source/free). Or any other texteditor (e.g CrimsonEditor)
• basic knowledge on Lua

The tutorials won't cover much background information. It shows code which goes pretty straight to achieving a certain goal.

Some tutorial-like topics were dealt with in the "know-how" section of the forum. Some of them will be transitioned to proper tutorials, be aware that the forum contains many deprecated lua functions.

Download

The tutorials are distributed in a single project, that contains all sources and a simple frontend to start them (0.98 on), and have replaced the old "demos" framework.
