Hello World Lua AI

[Nemo]

Additionally, if you're not opposed to modifying an existing AI, tobi (former Spring lead dev) wrote an OO modular AI framework for Spring 1944, which Imperial Winter also used/uses. We just use it by providing game-specific config files, but the code is pretty clean and nicely broken into components, so you could probably use it as a basis for more interesting behavior (right now, CRAIG mostly just follows a build order config and sends groups of units to various waypoints on the map on the way to the player's base).

Interestingly, it runs primarily unsynced gadget code. His comments from the commit where it was rewritten to run unsynced:

* Major technical change: the AI now runs as unsynced code.
- CPU usage due to the AI happens only on one client, instead of all.
- AI is actually susceptible to network lag now, unfortunately.
- Desync bugs like the one in v2 can not exist anymore.
- Architecture is more similar to GlobalAI. (AI DLLs)
- There is a clear piece of framework code for building unsynced LUA AIs.
