Not Decoda - but general LUA query.

in Decoda
<div class="IPBDescription">Running LUA from a USB?</div>Is it at all possible, to have a portable version of LUA? One that can be run from USB?

After reading more on LUA seeing example uses of it (and understand what was happening in the example code to one degree or another) decided I'll give it a go.
Am googling atm but can't see anything just yet for running LUA from USB.

    The short answer is "yes".
    The long answer is "yes it will".

    I'm not going into detail on why, since that wasn't part of your question.

    EDIT: First forum post on these forums in 7 years. Sorry it couldn't be classier.

    EDIT2: Ok, I'll explain some more.

    Lua is a completely independent script language written in C.
    So the lua interpreter is a C-application.
    A C-application runs (just about) anywhere.

    Sweet... so just need an interpreter to run the scripts with?
    Should be easy (ish) enough to get that happen.




    Glad I could make your first post in 7 years a classy one :)

    Assuming the scripts you're running isn't depending on any external application / library you should be fine.
