Any Lua exercises?

  TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

Another option if you're already beyond that is to maybe look into using Love2d or a fantasy console like TIC-80, Pixel Vision 8, or PICO-8. You can find example code, tutorials, and game sources and learn from those. You'll learn more from applied use of a language than you will doing exercises.

  :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua

Though lately my interest is more in using Lua as an intermediate language, similar to how JS is being used as a compilation target for other languages. It can be a good way to add new features and abstractions while still taking advantage of Lua's embeddability. Stuff like Urn (lisp), Amulet (ML-family, OCaml/Haskell-like), and MoonScript (Python-like).

  Tiny class module for Lua

Get as simple as possible OOP library, for example this one and write some code using it. This library can inherit ordinary functions, but not any metamethods. Try to improve it. If you can implement metamethod chaining inheritance that allows you to __call an instance of inherited classes like a function, then you understand metamethods thoroughly. Even if you fail, it still will be a good practice.
