Recently, I've been wanting to get into Lua, and I just started to. I was wondering if it is possible to make a game, without the LOVE engine, like are there any built-in libraries I can use or external libraries? How would I install these libraries?

I am using the ZeroBrane Studio IDE, not plugins for Java IDEs.

I know this is pretty vague, but I have done some research, and most of it is either Roblox tutorials or LOVE tutorials.

Thank you

Unfortunately, asking for game engines and libraries is off topic here. Why don't you want to use an engine? – Vaillancourt Jun 11 '21 at 23:59

Questions asking "how to get started" or "which technology/libraries to use" are not on-topic for this StackExchange. A quick search for how to compile an executable from Lua or how to use graphics libraries in Lua turns up very promising hits on the first page that are not Roblox or LOVE related, so you might just need to adjust your search terms. Try these resources, then you should be in a position to ask a more specific question we can help with here. – DMGregory Jun 12 '21 at 00:06
