Hi Gang!

Does anybody know offhand what the motivation was to use LUA as a new level description language? Does it bring new capabilities? Netzhack (talk) 11:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes, it allows levels to be much more dynamic. Compare https://github.com/copperwater/xNetHack/blob/master/doc/lua.adoc to https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Des-file_format . Testbutt (talk) 17:04, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
