I was curious to play with Lua by itself, but I couldn't find any good places for putting Lua on my Windows XP machine. Can anyone offer any good advice?

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm assuming that you've checked the Lua website (www.lua.org) and have also checked out the links from there.

If you mean get Lua to run standalone, one thing you might owant to take a look at is the Lua Binaries project. It has precompiled binaries (with the interpreter as well) for Windows systems, and is very handy if you don't have your own compiler to compile Lua yourself.

Their page is here:

Exactly. For instance:
