ALK - A Lua Knowledge

ALK is a group of snippets and articles to serve as reference on Lua and Lua C API development. It can be read or forked, so you can play with code and make your own discoveries.

Fork it, learn Lua, play with it and feel free to help this project.

Quickstart

1. Clone repo and enter the directory

   git clone https://github.com/waxlab/alk.git alk cd alk

2. To list the lessons/tests run:

   ./run test

3. Pick one of the list and run:

   ./run test capi.stack.args

All the relevant tests and lessons are under the src folder. For a test capi.stack.borders there are two files:

• src/capi/stack/borders.lua containing the tests
• src/capi/stack/borders.c containing the Lua C Api examples and that is recompiled every time you issue ./run test capi.stack.borders
