lua

Okay, so when I run lua, I get something like:

lua
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
>

Now, I want a prompt like this, 1) in a GUI application I've written.

My GUI application can provide functions like: get_input_from_screen(); and write_this_crap_out_to_screen(); and more functions I can write as necessary

I also know how to embed a lua interpreter in my C++ code (short tutorial on the web)

What I don't know .. is how to connect the input/output of a lua interpreter with my GUI stuff.

Any help/links apreciated.

Thanks!

I am using tolua++ to export some C++ classes to Lua. My understanding that each class is 'implemented' on the lua side, as a lua table. I am wondering if it is possible therefore, to add new (Lua) methods to the C++ object table so that I can achieve the effect of adding new methods to the C++ class… >>> More
