You can distribute games for the Lua-based Love2D engine this way. You just package all the source files and resources into a zip file and thee engine can execute it. You can even append the zip after the executable to create a single distributable game executable.
You can take a look at the Love2D source and adapt the loader for the Lua interpreter.
