Hello everyone, I am an indie iOS+macOS developer. I have made some iOS apps about coding in Lua programming language on your mobile devices. The first one is LuaLu(https://www.iamadman.com/products/lualu/), I started this project over ten years ago and last year I made a big update on it with a full-featured terminal and a powerful code editor, and also add many useful Lua modules such as socket, sqlite and json. With these features, you can write many useful programs in Lua. But there's a downside, it does not support graphic and UI programming. And then I made other two apps: Love2DGameMaker(https://www.iamadman.com/products/love2d-gamemaker/) and Solar2D Studio(https://www.iamadman.com/products/solar2d-studio/) These two apps are based on the first one. They shared the code editor and terminal features, the difference is: 1. LuaLu contains a Lua interpreter 2. Love2D Game Maker integrates the Love2D game framework, it can run many games developed using love2d, the most popular game recently - Balatro, some smart guys has run Balatro on their iPhone/iPad, see https://reddit.com/r/iosgaming/comments/1bnf0zy/tutorial_run... 3. Solar2d Studio, similar to Love2D Game Maker but for Solar2D (ex Corona SDK), it can run Solar2D projects
