hello,
after much studying up, i have decided to start a lua project. but all the tutorials i found are on printing words and background images. i was hoping someone could give me a link to a tutorial on how to actaully create some aspects of the game like simple AI and animation of the characters. i know how to assign things to buttons and stuff like that, but i cant make a game just with that knowledge. any good tutorials?

Learn the game programming theory, than apply that knowlede to any languages syntax (in this case LUA)

Exactly, if you jump straight in with a game it'll never become anything big. Take a couple of weeks to get used to it

And for the animating of sprite, you can use my animated sprite class/library for luaplayer.
You can get the latest one in my sig.

i second that, thats how i learned to Code for Lua!...

also start with a simple game, for me, I started with pong, (PvP Pong to be exact, see my signiture) so start with something simple and add your own flair, then move on to something bigger and badder. My bigger and badder game is going to be a side Scroller, the only thing its really missing is pretty much collision, (its hard) so ya, do what ya can@
