OpenSimulator addon-module to add Lua language scripting to the virtual world.
Don't get your hopes up.
This is an experiment to use Lua-CSharp as a script engine in OpenSimulator. Remember to re-read the word experiment.
There are many barriers to overcome and I may eventually have to fork Lua-CSharp to add OpenSimulator required features but that's what experimentation is for.
The initial work will be to follow the pattern of OpenSimulator's YEngine and solve the problems of managing the script engine threads and figuring out how to link the "_Api" libraries into the Lua compiler environment.
A larger technical challange will be figuring out how to freeze and serialize the script state for crossing region boundries and saving scripts in the inventory but that will be step two.
This is currently packaged as an add-module and not a fork or overlay of the OpenSimulator sources to keep it in a separate repository and not get entangled with any updates to OpenSimulator or its cousins. Other packaging or inclusion in the source tree will be possible in the future and will depend on if this experiment is successful and how things work out.
