From Control Flow to Real Lua Games and File Systems

This course is a practical continuation of Lua fundamentals, designed for learners who already know basic syntax and want to move into real logic, structure, and complete programs.

You won’t just learn concepts in isolation — you’ll apply them immediately by building interactive terminal games and working with real files. The focus is on thinking logically, structuring code properly, and understanding how Lua behaves in real scenarios.

What you get :

• A clear progression from logic to real applications

• Strong understanding of how Lua programs are structured

• Multiple real projects that reinforce every concept

• Practical skills you can reuse in games, scripting, and automation

• What you’ll build / cover

• Control Flow & Loops

Learn how programs make decisions and repeat actions:

• if / else conditions

• for and while loops

• Working with tables inside loops

• Writing clean, readable logic

• Functions & Recursion

Understand how to organize and reuse code:

• Defining and calling functions

• Return values

• Parameters and scope

• Recursion explained with a factorial example

• When recursion makes sense — and when it doesn’t

• Tables, Iteration & Metatables

Go deeper into Lua’s core data structure:

• Accessing table data

• Iterating with pairs and ipairs
