Demonstrate how to embed a lua interpreter in C code, expose a C-defined function to Lua script, evaluate a Lua script, call a C-defined function from Lua, and call a Lua-defined function from C (the host). In this example, we want the mood to be set by a Lua script. Here is mood.lua: -- Get versi...

In order to access or alter an index on a table, you need to somehow place the table into the stack. Let's assume, for this examples that your table is a global variable named tbl. Getting the content at a particular index: int getkey_index(lua_State *L) { lua_getglobal(L, "tbl"); ...
