Very simple lisp-like interpreted scripting language written in lua, intended for use as a game command language. Originally made for 1x1.

Commands/code can look like this: fly false
..or like this: def buildplatform {loop 10 {(var i (i)|(+ 1)) (placetile (tile) (x)|(+ (i)) (y))}} tile x y width

The language is very forgiving (unless you throw an internal error; usualy users fault), it will shut up if you run a nonexisting command. (feature, not a bug...)
this_function_doesnt_exist ".. so what?"
But you can add your own handler at the bottom of the run function

How to use:

1. require "lang"

You can rename the file ofc, that doesnt matter.
The entire library is in lang.lua

local lang = require "lang"

2. setup serializer (used to print complex values)

Write your own function

lang.serializer = function(value,options)
    -- ...
end

...or use an existing library...

lang.serializer = require "inspect"

3. use it ;p

make sure to remove newline characters

print(lang.run(lang.deserialize(([[
    loop 10 {
        (var i (i)|(+ 1))
        (log (join "fox no. " (i)))
    }
]]):gsub("\n", " "))))
