Topic: AI as a scipt

Hi Folks, I read a few posts on the AI and got to wondering wether the inbuilt scripting could handle or improve the current AI, I don't have a constant fast internet connection, I use a dongle, so trying to read through the Lua scripting pages gets a bit frustrating when the connection drops out. Is there a plain text version of the Widelands Lua scripting interface I can get my hands on. I have a love og game AI and some ideas on that front, but I really need either a plain text or pdf version of the inteface to have a look at while I'm testing my ideas. Also, is the sciprt compiled or interpreted, I couldn't figure it out from the source code this morning when the AI idea's I had first blossomed in my mind. After creating my own game AI language ( which is a script language) , I thought maybe I could try rewritting parts of it as a Lua script in widelands. My own AI language is written in Forth with a prolog extention. I don't know the widelands lua interface well enough to attempt anything but some simple code at the moment.

The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!
