Scripting Widelands using Lua

Lua is used for scripting in various parts of Widelands:

• Scenarios: all scenario-specific events and messages to the player are controlled by Lua scripts
• Starting conditions: set up of a player's initial building and wares at the start of a regular game
• Win conditions: the rules that decide when a game is won
• Some people even test the abilities to cheat via lua in single player mode (take a look here )
