we are researching lua as a
means for our game to interpret scenes from our scenario editor, and to control
the movement of the character from the character editor.. as well as control the
animations, and everything that happens in the game... going slow
though...

There are some game projects that use lua and are not
registered on your
site. I know of at least three AAA game titles here in
germany (one
released, two others not yet released) that make use of lua as
scripting
language. I can't tell you about the other two projects (it's
their choice
to registrate not mine), but I just submitted the data for our
game *g*

note about game usage!
I wrote this last week:
We have
this problem: we *feel* that Lua is being used in many places
but we
don't *know* any other than the 50 or so listed in our site.
Is
it just a feeling or what? How widely would you say that Lua is
used?
This appeared yesterday in
comp.games.development:
Of course, the most popular extension
languages (Lua, Python, Tcl)
are licensed without such strings
attached.
So, at least to this person, Lua rates among the "most
popular" languages!
(With Lua listed first, but he may have sorted the
names...)
This kind of statement is not infrequent in usenet messages
that mention Lua
(see "Lua usenet citations" in http://www.lua.org/links.html ); Lua
is
mentioned as a language that people are (or should be) familiar
with.
Despite this, we still only know those 50 or so uses listed in our
site.
What is your experience? Do people around you know Lua? How did
they know
about
it? Did you tell them yourself or was it the other way
around? Do you know
other people that are using Lua but who are not in
lua-l? Would you rate Lua
as a "popular" language? Do you see its
popularity increasing?
We'd really like to know a realistic estimate of
the impact of Lua.
Thanks for any
info.
