LUA sockets!

[buhatkj]

heya, i know saigumi and i are using LUA for our scripting, dunno if anybody else is, (if not i heartily suggest giving it a try) but while i was googling around i found this tidbit
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/lu ... ction.html
its basically a socket library for LUA, i havent tried actually plugging in into CaLua or Irrlicht or Fmorg yet, but the IDEA is intriguing. from the description this guy took basic C sockets and made them accessible to LUA somehow. not sure if the performance could be up to par with what we need to make games with it, but nonetheless, im throwin it out there...

in my current project Im almost ready to add scripting, in which case I will be using CaLUA as well.

i cant imagine letting a scriptor mess with the network-- or it being very fast, though

honestly i agree keless. it makes more sense that if you need to send a network message form a LUA script for some rweason to have a function bound in C++ that sends it for the script, bit still its neat to see these sort of crossover enhancements.
