MicroLua brings the programming language Lua on the Nintendo DS for easy and fast development of beautiful homebrews!
Based on brunni's µLibrary, µLua is a Lua interpreter featuring fast drawings and many important functionalities. You can exploit your Nintendo DS with the simplistic yet powerful Lua language!
On your cartridge, MicroLua is a NDS executable that shows as its frontend a great graphical shell from which you can explore your cartridge and run Lua scripts written for µLua.
µLua already benefits from an impressive collection of homebrews, from a complete and expandable MicroLua IDE to enjoyable games, produced by an active and helpful community.
