If its really unreadable in notepad then its definitely compiled. Any font should work as LUA is text only, it doesnt matter how its viewed really. I am actually working on a LUA text editor which saves as .lua by default as I hate having to change it in notepad, and usually forget.
I'll post here again when its finished. Any suggestions for what i could add to it, make it a bit more fun, interesting  :?

I've got an idea for my LUA Viewer...really tacky name...but it's what its called
I think I'm gonna add a facility to insert text for main functions etc. so that you dont have to type em
things like Function Main will be selectable from a menu or drop down menu to save time I'll start work on it as soon as I can, can't say how long it'll take but I'll start as soon as I have my Java assignment finished for college
