Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Learn the scripting language powering Roblox, World of Warcraft, nginx, and Redis - and connect it to the AI tools reshaping game development and automation in 2026. Lua Programming with AI is the complete beginner-to-practitioner guide for developers who want to master Lua and apply it across…game scripting, embedded systems, automation workflows, and modern AI integration. Written for 2026, this book takes you from your very first Lua script all the way to building AI-powered game NPCs, intelligent automation tools, and lightweight data processing pipelines. Lua is one of the most widely deployed scripting languages in the world - you just rarely see its name. It is the scripting backbone of Roblox, LOVE2D, Defold, and Corona game engines, the automation layer inside Redis and nginx, and the scripting engine embedded in IoT devices, routers, and microcontrollers worldwide. Its entire interpreter compiles to roughly 240KB - no other scripting language comes close to that footprint. Author Thomas Scott teaches you how to harness that power, from first principles to finished AI-powered applications. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: - Lua fundamentals: variables, data types, operators, control flow, and functions- Tables - Lua's single, elegant data structure that replaces arrays, dictionaries, and objects- String manipulation, pattern matching, file handling, and error handling- Modules, package management, and object-oriented programming in Lua- Coroutines and concurrency - cooperative multitasking without threads- Clean code practices and performance optimisation for resource-constrained environments- Advanced topics: metatables, metamethods, the Lua C API, and embedding Lua into applications- Networking, socket programming, security best practices, and scalable application design- Game scripting with Lua: NPC behavior, scripting systems, and game automation- AI-assisted development: using AI tools to write, debug, and extend Lua scripts- Integrating AI APIs and working with OpenAI and LLMs directly from Lua- Prompt engineering for Lua-based AI automation workflows- Building intelligent game behaviors and AI-driven embedded system logic>WHY THIS BOOK: >Covers Lua 5.4, the current stable version, throughout. Includes comprehensive appendices covering Lua quick reference, the string library, the table library, pattern reference, metamethod reference, a full glossary, and recommended learning resources. Perfect for: game developers working with Lua-based engines, embedded systems engineers, network and DevOps engineers working with nginx or Redis, developers who want a rare and genuinely useful scripting skill, and anyone building AI-integrated automation tools in resource-constrained environments.
