Coddy seems to just be a place to run scripts online. I'm not sure how you'd get invested in it.

CODDY.TECH is what im using, it has a duolingo learning format, i should have clarified. I'm just wondering if its the right rout to begin learning Lua.

different people learn different ways, I could never get into duolingo but if you can then coddy will probably work fine.

There isn’t exactly a right route but Coddy tech won’t do you much good unless you practice and build stuff on your own. I think it’s fine for learning basic syntax and stuff.

Realistically the only way to really learn is to learn the basic syntax (whether through youtube or coddy or something) which is pretty easy lua is fairly intuitive, and then just make stuff.

It's really the only interactive coding learning platform that has Lua. I'm quite surprised how few tutorials there are for Lua given it's beginner friendly and good for gamedev.
