ModMaker.Lua

ModMaker.Lua is a complete rebuild of Lua for use in .NET. The code has been entirely written in C# with no unmanaged code. This library parses Lua code, creates a dynamic IL assembly, and executes it in a custom runtime. This library also supports object-oriented Lua by allowing the creation of new types from within Lua code. It is designed to be simple and easy to use while providing extensibility.

Features

• Simple design
• Create types in Lua
  • Derive from .Net types
  • Implement .Net interfaces
  • Implicit interface implementation
  • Public fields/properties
• Auto registering functions and types
  • No need to manage Lua stack
  • Accepts any method signature
  • Return multiple values to Lua
  • Access static an instance members of .Net types
  • Supports params arrays and optional arguments
  • Supports by-reference arguments passed from Lua
• Dynamic binding

Example

using ModMaker.Lua;
using ModMaker.Lua.Runtime;
using ModMaker.Lua.Extensions;

public static string Something(ILuaTable table, string arg)
{
    return table[arg];
}

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Lua lua = new Lua();

    // Register a method for use in Lua.
    lua.Register(Something);

    // Load and run the given Lua file.
    lua.DoFiles("printf.lua", "argument", 12);

    // Get a global variable with the name 'Var'.
    dynamic E = lua.Environment;
    int d = E.Var;
}
