| http://getmoai.com/ http://getmoai.com/get-started/moai-faq/ Uses Lua, able to deploy to ios, android, win, mac, etc. Says it's open source? I wonder if they use LLVM lua. |

| I really started liking Lua when I was trying out Corona. However, Corona's Lua is a stripped-down version with waaaaaay too many limitations. This one has potential. I wonder if they'll output to HTML5 or Flash, although their current platform support is good IMHO. 1. Requires attribution on a credit screen. Not a big deal. If I use a code base, I don't mind giving props, especially if it's free. 2. How are they going to monetize? Scalable cloud hosting? Sounds expensive. Always good to have options and innovation, no? :) |

| I used LUA for a little while, I am much more comfortable with the monkey/blitz language. I never learnt how to create a class with LUA and access OO features, its not very simple or well documented. |
