Re: Embedding Lua for use in a MUD.

[Jason Clow <ih8msft@...>]

If you are using a Diku (or one of its derivatives) as your codebase, then you can snoop around on ftp.circlemud.com; there is an example of using Lua for triggers.
If you want to use Lua for scripting, I suggest you use Lua 3.2. It is much easier to embed than 4.0, IMO
