C++ and Lua
Last Friday (April 25, 2012) I was given the impromptu task of programming something “cool” in 1 hour.
I decided that I would attempt to implement Lua scripting with C++.
One hour (and countless linker errors) later I had managed to get a program to run scripts from a .lua file, Hello World for this project.
Even knowing that Lua was created to be a scripting language embedded within other programs, I was still surprised at just how easy this was to do, and while due to the time restriction I was unable to implement some of the more advanced features (such as exposing c++ variables, classes, and methods for use in Lua scripts) it was still a good project.
In the future I plan to experiment with the more advanced features I couldn’t get to, as well as implement Lua scripting capabilities into future games I create.
