About This Game

Write the code. The drones do the rest.

LuaQuest is a programming and automation game. There is no character to steer: you write the Lua script that drives your drones, then watch them till, plant, water and harvest your 3D farm, from dawn to a starry night.

Learn Lua by playing

• 11 levels, 39 missions: variables, loops, conditions, functions, tables, threads, events… Every concept you learn becomes a new drone ability.

• The Lua of game-server scripting: threads, waits, network events, commands, vectors, JSON, all the way to a real client and server.

• For every skill level: Beginner (a fully guided first level and a plain-language “Understand the concept” card for each new idea), Novice or Expert.

• Code or nodes: type the Lua yourself or link blocks; the code they produce is shown alongside.

A living farm to automate

• Giant pumpkins, sunflowers, cacti to sort, mazes and treasure: every crop is a small algorithm puzzle.

• Day and night, rain showers that water your crops, rainbows and fireflies; the music grows richer with every busy drone.

• Up to eight drones at once: now optimize.

Real developer tools

• Debugger: breakpoints, step by step, local and global variables.

• Replay: scrub through every moment of a run and race the ghost of the reference solution.

• Live code analysis, autocompletion, multi-file projects with require.

• VS Code sync, and export your farm as a resource ready for your own server.

Challenges and leaderboards

49 achievements, a new challenge every week, challenges between friends and optional online leaderboards: the server replays your script to time it fairly.

A home-made renderer

LuaQuest runs on its own 3D engine, written in Rust: physical sky, clouds, evening light, grass in the wind, rain that soaks the ground. From Low settings for modest PCs up to Ultra, with a photo mode to keep your best harvests.
