Are there any libraries / frameworks that facilitate 2D game programming in Lua on the iPhone?
It looks like http://anscamobile.com/ and http://sio2interactive.com/GAMES.html are the only reasonable options at this point. Someone should create a simple Lua binding for OpenGL, AL and iPhone Events for the iPhone!
I'm trying out SIO2 as it apparently supports lua.
While it is for 3D and may be overkill for 2d it looks pretty powerful. Just make your models in 2d and fix your camera position.

@richcollins: Actually, as of late last year you CAN test on the physical device using Corona (anscamobile.com).
If you want to check this out, download the free trial at developer.anscamobile.com, and it'll let you make developer builds for your phone.
The full version will also make App Store builds -- feel free to email support (at) anscamobile.com if you have further questions.
There has been a fair amount of discussion of Lua on the iPhone on the Lua list. It appears that Apple is touchy about allowing user-supplied scripts, but has approved apps that used Lua internally as an implementation language.
I know I've seen reference to several approaches to wrapping iPhone goodies mentioned, but since I'm not personally an iPhone developer (or even user) I haven't paid attention to the details.
