Introduction to use RiscLua RISCOSLib to create Lua based WIMP Applications

[pzaino]

Background

Lua it's a powerful and easy to use programming language, it can be learned in literally few hours. Gavin has gone through the work required to use Lua to also create WIMP applications, so it would be beneficial for some users to have an introductory tutorial on how to use the RiscLua RISCOSLib to create multi-tasking applications in easy steps and with a language that is easy to learn.

Definition of Done

• Installing RiscLua using PackMan (this is something we'll make available very soon)
• Create a simple app that install an icon on the iconbar and opens a Window (will add some details for this task here below)
• Ensure that everything works and there are no other dependencies, so that everyone can follow the tutorial without the need to find missing bits
• Source code from the tutorial should be added here as a repository (and a simple template to start from)
