FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I have been wanting to make a mod but cant seem to open LUA files on my windows 8 laptop can someone tell me how to open them, it would be much appreciated.

Just use a texteditor, like notepad. I would recommend one with syntax highlighting, though, like Notepad++.

Lua for Windows has a Lua Editor included

K coz in windows vista it gives the option to open in notepad, im not on my laptop yet but i dont think it gives me the option to open in notepad, just to get a app of the store to open it.
I definately have notepad though :P

Windows sucks, you should use a a OS that actually gives you the ability to open files (like Linux).

Ive opened them :D

I don't think you have to say this in almost evers topic. Everybody has a prefered OS, can you can't change that.

Otherwise right click and open with word pad not notepad

Just some examples :)

I use Vim or gVim for an editor.

They are good, but they are kind of difficult to learn for someone who is new to code editing. For windows, I would use notepad++.
