| | 3 | Orxonox uses [http://www.lua.org Lua] for its scripts. Scripts are code pieces which add another layer to the game logic. As a Gamer you know those events which happen, when you reached a certain level or entered a room or area with your character. Those events are most certainly produced with a script engine like ours. |

| | 5 | Our script engine has access to all objects in the game and are therefore quite powerful and easy to use, as you may see in examples. |

| | 9 | == Level files == |
| | 10 | Our level files are pure XML-code. We add objects and ambient lights with XML tags and specify their parameters with attributes. |

| | 12 | If your using the special lua tags ''<?lua'' and ''?>'' you can create levels easier. You could use loops to generate more objects and you can let a level depend on earlier accomplishments of the player. If you use random parameters you can even create a level which looks slightly different every time a player plays it. Here some examples how you could use Lua in our level files. |
