I believe you mentioned in your second e-mail to the list that you 
want to write games.

Since you don't compile anything now, you need to find a project 
that: (1) provides game scripting capabilities, and (2) is 
maintained, alive, and has a community.

A basic Lua distribution does not have the functions you need for 
game programming. But there are some projects around that are 
tailored towards fast game development, where you can write the 
entire game in Lua. Some may not be SDL, but I suggest that for 
now, just get something that works and that you can easily use.

So, find something like Apocalyx. I've seen samples before; pretty 
much everything can be done using Lua scripting running on 
prebuilt executables -- no compilation necessary. There are 
probably other projects like Apocalyx. Go look for them. We can't 
give specific suggestions since we don't even know what operating 
system you are using.

So, your task now is to look for game engine projects that uses 
scripting (do check out PyGame too), then download and try them 
out. Choose the one that matches what you want to do and can start 
using easily.
