If you open DevCpp and go to "Tools->Check for Updates/Packages", then choose "devpaks.org Community Devpaks" for the "Select devpak server", then hit the "Check For Updates" button in the bottom left corner, you will get a list of avaliable packages to download and install for DevCpp. Towards the top there should be an entry for "Lua" that you can select to download and install. Alternatively, you can download the .DevPak file here and double click to install it.

Once you have it installed, click File->New->Project and in the new dialog choose the Lua Tab. Click on the Lua project Icon, name your project and hit Ok. Choose where to save the project file and you will now be in the DevCpp IDE with two main files open. "Main.cpp" and "hello.lua.cpp"

You will first need to rename the "hello.lua.cpp" file to "hello.lua", or make the change in the main.cpp file. Next, you will need to remove that hello.lua file from the workspace. Now you can compile and build the project and it will work! I tried it out to be sure and had no problems with it. If you run into any more troubles, let us know. Good luck!

Yes, it should, you just have to make a Win32 GUI rather than the Console when you first create the project. Just note that the provide example will not work since it simply prints to the console [wink]

That I don't know how to do that coding in window. There alot information that I haven't known yet. I know just the baisc part.
