Re: controlling lua from a c program

[Håkon Evensen <haakon.evensen@...>]

Thx..

But how do all people using lua solve this problem?  If i write a 
singlethreaded game in c, and wants to use lua as scripting, i have to 
trust whoever makes the scripts for the whole games mainthread not to hang 
? Is lua a scripting or a programming language?  Shouldnt the 
script<->mainprogram intergration almost be the most important property of 
a script?
