Non CC programs

I keep seeing these links to download something from lua.org
and people making these independent programs with lua. So I began wondering,
how would I do this??? Can someone fill me in on how this works, can I make a window (desktop window) and have things be written, pictures and ect, just like I would with CC?
All information is much appreciated!

There are a few Lua libraries that allow you to make standalone Windows applications. You can use Love2D to make games too. You could probably also use Love2D to make some applications but I am not sure.

Would it be this?

Looks cool! Although, I've gotten quite accustomed to CC and is there anyway I can import the APIs folder inside the zip of CC into the engine?

If the API's are in plain Lua then you can. But a lot of the API's(Such as the FS API) are made in Java.

It's the one I wanted lol, dat file editing ya know :D/>
But you think this would work for rather simple things?

I think the closest to that would be cc emulator then, but it's still not what you desire fully

And also, alot of the APIs won't work unless it's
in CC

You can do graphics outside of CC using GUI wrappers such as wxLua. It can be complex at times though, so I'd recommend sticking with Love, which is less so. A lot of functions in ComputerCraft are specific to ComputerCraft only: especially the term library. It is possible to emulate these functions in a regular Lua environment, but it would probably not be easy.

Well thanks for the feed back guys! I shall try this Love2D thingy… Good day!
