Lua

Lua is a versatile programming language with a simple syntax. Although many people consider Lua to be an interpretive language this is incorrect as Lua compiles its scripts when they are loaded. Because Lua can easily be embedded into applications, it is frequently used in games, such as World of Warcraft, Far Cry and Baldur's Gate. source

When I have time, I'll make it search every single page. For now, it's just an addition to the wiki search. source

Since it's mostly server side, what about the server ops? Can they use LUA for dirty deeds and their own personal benefits? source

I think my first non-5-minute Lua project was my personal admin mod. It doesn't have a particularly fancy interface or anything, but it was good to learn server-client architecture and all that. It's also nice having a personal admin mod that you can add to really easily to let you control bots or keep play-testers for other projects under control without bogging things down with a full-blown public admin mod. source

Calling a Lua function from C is fairly straight forward but is there a way to store a Lua function somewhere for later use? I want to store user defined Lua functions passed to my C function for use on events, similar to how the Connect function works in wxLua . source
