Pretty simple. CC should have the capability to load graphics just like normal Lua.

Oh, dear God. No. Added to the things NOT to suggest sticky. It's silly to suggest because it's been turned down so often. We just got advanced computers; what else do you want?

FYI, it is "Lua" not "LUA". You can already make and load graphics with some coding knowledge. The paintutils library has a function to load and display images made in the "paint" script. So this is useless.

"Normal Lua" doesn't have the ability to load graphics.

Doesn't OpenGL have the ability to load graphics?

Lua doesn't include OpenGL. Unless you're talking "Lua for Windows" which is Lua with lots of libraries included.

If you are willing to go the OpenGL route, there is already the CCGPU peripheral addon.

CCGPU is outdated. A lot.

Well I was not saying Lua had OpenGL built in, I was just asking a very random question. C# + OpenGL + Lua = Pure Epicness.

I've seen graphics done with normal Lua. It's possible and included in the script, although I don't know about 3D graphics.

World of Warcraft is coded with Lua, and last time I checked it has graphics.

Please don't be stupid. WoW is coded in a variant of C with Lua plugins.
