does computercraft uses an adapted version of lua

i only ask this because i just got into love 2D gaming engine expecting all my friendly computercraft APIs only to be hit with all new APIs that were completely alien to me

Love2D is an expansion upon a completely unedited version of Lua, while CC has some functions removed/replaced for security reasons.

Love isn't console based, so it's not going to be based around the same concept of "go to x,y then draw", it's based around the concept of "draw at x,y". It's main purpose is to provide a stable medium through which to keep track of and update variables in an efficient manner, then render the results of those variables.

now i know how my parents feel when i talk to them about code and they have no clue what im talking about :(/>/>

The answer to your question without a lengthy explanation is, Yes. Love2D and CC are very different from one another.

isnt cc also base around java instaed of C, C++, C#

If you want the simple answer, then take it without asking questions. xD
Seriously, though. Unless you want an essay, just accept that the two are quite dissimilar.

Also currently CC is using LuaJava, that will be changing soon though and we should get regular Lua.

I'm curious, how does one go about using C/C++ based Lua, while Minecraft is created in Java?

Java allows using native libraries, ie how LWJGL works,
Just you require a JNI(Java Native Interface) interop.

A bit of Googling would have told that.

well java allows that but i was curious if that is possible for an minecraft mod without a big code rewrite (havent looked into minecraft mods a lot so excuse me)

Minecraft mods are like java programs that hooks into minecraft's API. You can do virtually anything you can do in normal java, in minecraft.
