I am trying to make a sudoku game in LuaZM. Right now I am stuck at how to generate a board.

So my first question is, does anyone have an algorithm, and my second is if there is already a lua sudoku board generator that i could use without having to reinvent the wheel. :)

There are many ways to do that.
1. You already have a solved sudoku
->delete some numbers (22 to 36 numbers should stay)

2. You want to create a random sudoku
->1.: you generate random numbers in a random place and try to solve it with backtracking until you can't solve it -> then you take the last solveable solution
->2.: you spread nine ones, nine twos, nine threes,... and try to solve with backtracking
->3.: you take a "normal" sudoku and change the lines or reflect them
