Running the program

[AstroOrbis]

The program compiles and starts fine, but I'm not sure what to do afterwards... Running the stackrabbit.lua file gives me this error: lua: stackrabbit.lua:226: invalid escape sequence near '",|\|'

npm run start

Navigating to localhost:3000 gives me this:

I'm probably doing something really stupid XD

Re: Lua, it is currently coded in Lua 5.1 (the version bundled with the FCEUX emulator), so there may be a differing syntax that your installation of Lua doesn't like.

As for running on localhost, it looks like your local server is working! It just needs some input in the request to respond to. The simplest one to try is localhost:3000/ping which returns "pong!".

I've been meaning to write up an API endpoint summary, since the encoding into URLs isn't particularly intuitive.

Allright, I've managed to install Lua 5.1, but this happens:

lua-5.1 src/fceux/stackrabbit.lua

I am also having the same issue that you are in this comment.
