axe.luascript help

I'm interested in Lua :-). Although I used axe.lua. I don't know what axe.luascript is?

The tutorial over at GameDev helped me understand how to use Lua in BlitzMax: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/lua/

You can skip the first pages since it's about implementing it in C++ but the rest is almost the same as with BlitzMax.

Here's a small example:

test.bmx

SuperStrict
Import axe.lua

Local LuaState:Byte Ptr = luaL_newstate()
luaL_openlibs(LuaState)

lua_pushstring(LuaState, "BMXString")
lua_setglobal (LuaState, "luaglobal")

lua_register(LuaState, "BMXName", BMXName)
luaL_dofile(luaState, "test1.lua");
lua_close(LuaState)

End

Function BMXName:Int (LuaState:Byte Ptr)
	' handling of parameters passed from Lua (if required)
	' actual function body
	' passing results back to Lua (if required)
	luaL_dostring(LuaState, "print('Ahum!')")
	Return 0 ' number of values returned to Lua
End Function

test.lua

print("Test!");
print(luaglobal);

-- Simple lua script
-- comments indicated with a '--'
a = 5;
b = 10;
c = a + b;
print ("5+10=" .. c);

BMXName();

Very simple example but it does show how you can call your BlitzMax functions in a Lua script.

As for methods, I'm now sure. Native Lua doesn't support it if I'm correct. I must say I haven't done a lot with Lua yet but the way I figured is that you need to create Functions that can access the required object.
