ZeroBrane Studio
Lightweight IDE for your Lua needs
 

Download Features Documentation Community Blog

ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight Lua IDE with code completion, syntax
highlighting, live coding, code analyzer, and debugging support for Lua 5.1, Lua
5.2, Lua 5.3, LuaJIT, and other Lua engines.

It is feature-rich and extensible for experienced developers, yet simple and
instantly usable for beginners (as tested with middle and high school students
with no programming experience). Unlike Eclipse and IntelliJ, it has a small
footprint and is fully customizable with Lua. Unlike TextMate and Sublime Text,
it includes a remote debugger and a full IDE feature set. Unlike Decoda, it runs
on Windows, macOS, and Linux and supports various Lua versions with on-device
debugging.

ZeroBrane Studio also provides several unique features: live coding for
immediate feedback, Markdown formatting in comments for providing instructions
with minimal context switching, and integrated interactive materials for those
learning Lua or getting familiar with programming.

The installation package includes some of the most popular Lua libraries
(luasocket, luafilesystem, luasec, and lpeg) compiled for Lua 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3
versions on all supported platforms.

For those interested in game and mobile development, the IDE supports debugging
for LÖVE, Corona, Moai, Gideros, Marmalade Quick, Cocos2d-x, and other engines.
It also supports general Lua debugging for OpenResty/Nginx, Redis, Torch7,
Wireshark, GSL-shell, Adobe Lightroom, Lapis, Moonscript, home automation, and
more.
