I didn't know what I was doing when I made it, so let's just say that you're right. Vibrating condom is fancy enough.
To be honest, I was kind of trying to make a tea cup, but then that didn't feel cool enough so I just added some extra stuff to it and called it a day. Don't tell anyone.

I recently started writing Lua as I found löve, other languages I've worked with are C, PHP, Python and MaxScript (oh, and XHTML and CSS too).
I've touched a lot of other languages through my days like JavaScript, Ruby, LISP, D, Java, Vala, C#, but I've never really used them for anything special.

Lua seems very nice though. I was a littly surprised by the way you create classes in it, but I'm starting to get used to it.
Welcome, and thanks for your contribution.

Yes, because of the use of tables for OOP, there are many different ways to create classes and other things related to OOP in Lua. I'd recommend MiddleClass if you aren't already using; it's quite popular around here.

Languages I've tried for more than a few days. In order:

Logo - turtle something or other
QBASIC - made a madgabs game
Gamemaker - made pong type games
Alice - clicked on 3d things made them do stuff
Turing - awesomely simple
OOTuring - even better but slow
Javascript + HTML - mostly customized things like wordpress and phpbb
Darkbasic / LibertyBasic / PureBasic - cool
Java - I liked the "regularness"
C++ - Too much for my brain at the time
Visual Basic.NET - College. Set up a form and fill in confusing boilerplate code.
Python - Looks great but I like playing with images
Processing - Awesome but limited without getting hands really dirty
Python - Should I use 2 or 3? Pygame is annoying me. I can't get it working right.
Haxe - Awesome idea. Not enough documentation yet for me.
Ruby - I like the idea. But slow and too much to remember at once for me.

Lua -----! Ahhh finally! Python wasn't consistent enough for me. And I couldn't remember the syntax. Lua is awesome.
I've also spent an enormous amount of time reading about different programming languages. I am a hobby programmer for now.

Wow, you've been through a few languages. Sounds Lua for you is the equivalent of Ruby for me. Thanks for your contribution.
