Online Lua and LSP Tutorials

Why we restart the tutorials every hour:

To ensure that our tutorials run smoothly and prevent abuse, we restart them every hour. This allows us to provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment for everyone.

These tutorials allow you to write server-side Lua code, execute programs, and explore capabilities that would normally be restricted on a public server. Please use this flexibility responsibly. In particular, avoid writing code that can block execution, such as endless loops or long-running synchronous operations. Code that does not yield or return control can make the tutorial environment unresponsive for yourself and others. Keeping your scripts efficient and well-behaved ensures that the tutorials remain stable and accessible to everyone.

If you prefer, you can also download and run the tutorials on your own computer. Check out the Mako Server getting started guide for more information. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

It's important to note that the browser is only used as an editor and to display the results of your code. The actual processing takes place on the server side. When you click the 'Run' button, the Lua code example displayed in the browser is sent to the server to be parsed and executed. The server will then send the response back to the browser for display.

Note: the tutorials work best when running on your own computer.
