Lua is my favorite scripting language. It’s simple, light, fast and powerful. It has a well designed and easy to use C-API which makes embedding it into larger C/C++ applications a snap.

It’s for these reasons that I’ve been using it in VoidStorm for configuration files and game logic.

LuaUtils is a little library I have been developing that wraps Lua functionality into C++ Classes, to avoid having to deal with the Lua state and stack directly.

It provides the following classes:

• LuaState – a class that allows you to load Lua code, set and get global values
• LuaTable – a class that allows you to get and set values in a Lua table
• LuaFunction – a class that allows you to easily call Lua functions from your C++ code
• LuaStateCFunc – an extended version of LuaState that provides special functions to be used in Lua C functions
• LuaTableCFunc – an extended version of LuaTable that provides special functions to be used in Lua C functions
