So, a typical script right now would be: https://gist.github.com/Lavesson/5979de218cdb4eb7714a
.. And the result would look like this:



An admittedly simplistic implementation - I would probably make completely different architecture decisions if I wanted to something a bit more advanced.

So I appreciate you were aiming for something simple, but I mention for the sake of other readers that you are missing out the (imho) number one best feature of Lua - co-routines.

It's entirely possible to write that script as straight function calls;

Code:

player.hide()
player.lock()
sleep(1)
effect.screenShake()
dialog.say(...)
etc

where the Lua interpreter suspends/resumes the script while waiting for delays and user actions. This isn't possible in any of the other language choices.

I didn't see anyone mention it here, but throwing Squirrel into fray

Code:

local table = {
	a = "10"
	subtable = {
		array = [1,2,3]
	},
	[10 + 123] = "expression index"
}
 
local array=[ 1, 2, 3, { a = 10, b = "string" } ];
 
foreach (i,val in array)
{
	::print("the type of val is"+typeof val);
}
