Is it too much to ask for you to look, at least once?

No, it "practicaly" won't.
Data said it will compliment the same variable based system we are using now.

And if you ever read the "DEV-Log" you would already know.

It's Lua, not LUA.

It's not an acronym, Christ.

Even if it isn't an acronym, does it really matter if it's Lua instead of LUA?

Post Re: LUA
Hmm, it'd be funny if the CC moon were named Lua.
Becuase Lua will become pretty important in CC, and it's name means moon.

Anyways, the scripting should allow for huge possibilities in modding, and I can very easily see the engine being used now to make complete other games.
I'm thinking of the concepts for one myself, but I'll almost certainly never finish it.

That's actually not a half-bad idea.

Well, what exactly will Lua do that regular INI coding can't do?

Everything.

.ini "coding" isn't coding. It's just assigning a lot of variables. Just adding a simple if statement unlocks vast opportunities for modders.

Post Re: Lua
Lua will, for one, enable you to declare flexible variables, and do logical arguments. In other words, I can make a script that says that:

if <something happens> then <something happens>
but if <nothing happens> then <something else happens>

That, along with triggers, which enable a modder to (shocking) trigger an event, action, or movement based on something else, true ingame logic, checking, and flexible modification of normally hardcoded variables while in-game promises some very unique modding possibilities.

When you get right down to it, really, damn near anything is possible in Lua.

Data himself said on IRC a few weeks ago that, and I quote "Lua is just so goddamn powerful".
