Lua - Obfuscate code capprime

Question

So, I want to obfuscate my lua code. I search for lua obfuscators on google and this site comes http://www.capprime.com/CapprimeLuaObfuscator/CapprimeLuaObfuscator.aspx. Also, I've seen many other site mention it too as a good obfuscator. But when I copy and paste my code to see that... the exact same code is generated. Why is that so? You can also test this by giving a sample input, that same output is generated. Are any good obfuscators around behind this? Thanks

As far as i know there are no obfuscators for Lua due to the fact that Lua allows you to implement your own obfuscator. Please read the C api of Lua and there you have ways of implementing your own file reader for lua files. By using that approach you can obfuscate/encrypt/decrypt on load of the file.
