I have stopped using luape as it only supports lua 5.1 and thus no goto or labels . I am now using srlua with lua 5.3 as I am using zerobrane and It only goes upto lua 5.3 at the moment . Hope they upgrade soon so I can although I'm new to this I do program in Basic AGK so It's not like I'm new to programming . Been doing this for a few years and I think from the Lua code I have seen is similar to Basic so I'm hoping to pretty much jump straight into it . I had a look at Lua about 6 months ago but could not find a way to produce an exe but that is now sorted.

Hi I have found something that appears to work and produce an exe file . It is a piece of software called Luape.exe and turns lua files into exe files . It is available on sourceforge for free and github . Best of luck to you all.

I have a problem with luape.exe in that it will not compile a label in lua e.g ::help:: . I'm trying to find something else to use like luatastic but I cannot get it to work. Can anybody offer some help, it would be appreciated . Thanks
