My apologies to the group ahead of my shameless product plug. I do feel however it is completely relevant to the very excellent Lua Programming Language that this forum deals with day-to-day.
Our company MobileApp Systems developed and has been selling an app on the App Store since October of last year called iLuaBox. In a nutshell, it provides a portable Lua development environment running right on the iPhone/iPod/iPad. You can edit, run, and save Lua scripts using standard libraries, along with extra libraries available as add-ins if needed. Performance is good, and is highly maintained. Just search for 'iLuaBox' in the App Store, or take a peek at www.mobileappsystems.com. For your convenience, below is a more full description. Thanks for reading and happy scripting lads!
iLuaBox provides an intuitive environment to learn, write, and run scripts written in the Lua Programming Language. This is not a stripped down version of Lua, but rather a full-featured implementation that is optimized for iOS 4.2. iLuaBox is a universal application that runs on any iOS 4.2 compatible device.
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua has been used in many industrial applications, with an emphasis on embedded systems and games.
