Lua is used in many products and projects around the world. Here are some highlights. A different selection is shown every day.

The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011. Blackmagic Fusion, a post-production image compositing software used extensively in the movie industry, uses Lua as one of its embedded scripting languages. Volvo cars like the V40 Cross Country embed Lua in their combined instrument panel. GitHub uses Lua scripts in the infrastructure of GitHub Pages, its static site hosting service.

Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system that hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in Lua. Solar2D is a free Lua based game engine with focus on ease of iterations and usage. It is a fork of the well established and widely used Corona SDK game engine. LÖVE is a free framework for making 2D games in Lua. Wireshark, a popular network protocol analyzer, is scriptable with Lua.
