Use LUA instead of C++ to create games?

Is it possible to use LUA instead of C++ to create games? The tutorial section on the Wiki has no LUA tutorials.

Yes, it's possible. It's a big topic and has a learning curve though (like anything else I guess).

The tutorial section on the Wiki has no LUA tutorials.

The answer is yes, you can use a precompiled engine.exe and have all your code (even the main loop) in lua scripts.
