Showcase

Lua is used in many products and projects around the world. Here are some highlights. A different selection is shown every day.

Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system that hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in Lua. Cisco IP Cameras can be controlled using Lua. The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is mostly written in Lua. Lightroom also supports Lua plug-ins.

Neovim is a popular hyperextensible Vim-based text editor that supports Lua plugins. Players of World of Warcraft use Lua to customize the game interface. Celestia is a real-time 3D visualization of space that can be scripted with Lua. "Grim Fandango was the first game that shows Lua could not only be used to make a good game, but that it could be used to make some of the best games ever." (cited here; see also this)
