This is a modified version of Lua which imitates the changes made by Gas Powered Games (GPG) for the game Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (SCFA).
The most notable changes are:
- Addition of a
continuestatement - Bash style single line
#comments - Bitwise operators
&,|,<<, and>> - Pow operator replaced by bitwise xor
^ - String methods available on strings. i.e.
str:sub(2)
See HISTORY for a full list of changes.
Version numbers do not follow regular semantic versioning. Instead they use the
Lua version that the modifications are based on followed by a release number.
For example 5.0-1 would be release number 1 for changes based on Lua 5.0.
The purpose of this project is to provide SCFA modders with a version of Lua that has the same syntax and behavior as the GPG version integrated into SCFA. In particular it should help in testing SCFA mods without running the game itself, such as in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. However, this repo is only for changes to the Lua language itself, and not SCFA engine functionality.
A mock engine will be implemented in a separate project.
