DigiPen Lua Club

["Stuart P.Bentley" <stuart@...>]

The recent initiative over the LuaForge outage spawned a wiki page on the 
community infrastructure, and one of the items that it mentioned was that 
there aren't any regular meetings of the Lua community. Well, this gives me 
an interesting tangent to bring up something I've started recently: Lua 
Club!

I go to DigiPen (http://www.digipen.edu), a school of video game programming 
and design. Since Lua is the most used programming language (other than 
C/C++) in the games industry, this is a prime topic for a club (since nearly 
all of the students have little to no knowledge of Lua, despite some student 
teams using it in their game projects).

So I recently started a Lua Club at Digipen (first official meeting next 
Monday). I haven't mapped out a schedule/agenda for the class (in a test 
run, only one guy showed up and me and a friend pretty much just explained 
the ins and outs of Lua to him over a couple of hours), but I have ordered 
Lua Programming Gems (which is still on its way- I already have hard copies 
of Programming in Lua 2nd Edition and the Reference Manual) and created a 
poster (sources attached).

Any presentation ideas / topic suggestions / ways to implement the numerous 
things I couldn't figure out in window.wlua (passing parameters like Copies 
to the CanvasDraw print job, saving to an image, shink/stretching the canvas 
while keeping aspect ratio) are appreciated!

(Also, why hasn't anybody implemented the Lua logo as a Lua script using a 
library like CanvasDraw yet?)
