Lua is an extension programming language that is widely used as a scripting language in applications. Due to its simple syntax, it is used in games such as Garry's Mod, World of Warcraft, Far Cry and many more.

Within Natural Selection 2, the majority of the game code will be written in Lua.
As well as providing a convenient environment for the NS2 team to code in, it will allow users to create modifications of the game.

Visit the official Lua site or the associated Wikipedia article for more information.
