Lua is small but powerful scripting language designed to either run on it own though a Lua client, or to be imbedded in another application to allow its behavior to be scripted.

One of things I have I have been spending my spare time doing is playing a type of game called a MUD (multi-user dungeon, or multi-user domain). MUDs are the foundation which modern MMORPGs (Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Games) are built upon. They are text based with no graphics, generally played over a telnet connection using a telnet client. There are several clients available that are designed for playing MUDs. Most of these client are scriptable using Lua.

I have divided the Lua Scripting section of the site into two parts. The first is general scripting and the second is scripts designed for use with MUD clients.
