Lua (lua.org) is a simple scripting language which can be easily integrated in other software. Therefore, why not bind BRL-CAD to it and create and modify geometries with Lua scripts? This task is about the creation of a development environment where you can program the Lua versions of BRL-CAD functions.

The procedure is very similar to the "Build BRL-CAD's core C++ interface" task: After building and installing BRL-CAD

• Download the rt^3 source tree (see https://brlcad.org/wiki/SVN),
• Set up the build environment by using the top level CMakeLists.txt file and
• Build the embeddedlua and hellobrlcad targets.
• Run the hellobrlcad program with a BRL-CAD database of your choice,
• Write your name in the terminal, and
• Make a screen shot.

When you are done, please upload the screen shot to the GCi task.
