2D LUA MMORPG Engine

[Painful]

I've been coding LUA for some months now in Garrys Mod. I'd like to take another step, do anyone know a 2d lua mmorpg engine?

Thanks in advance.

LUA wouldn't be the best tool for making an MMO. I think that there may be one with LUA as a scripting language though.

Look yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines

I saw this thread. Then I asked myself lua can be compiled into a engine? Plus I also got into lua with garrys mod. It is very fun to make gamemodes.

This http://www.worldforge.org/ seems rather interesting, though it's 3D not 2D. It uses LUA to client and Python to server.
I think I'll check it out, though a 2D one would be better. 2D is easier to work with and doesn't require as much time as 3D.

Might want to check out [Love2D](https://love2d.org/). I think it has networking capabilities bundled, but you'd have to add the actual code (as well as a server to handle all this). Honestly, it probably end up being really slow.

I thought about that too, though it'll probably run too slow :/

Doesn't Roblox use LUA?

Yeah, but only for scripting.
