OK... I guess I'll explain ColdC a little more. While ColdC allows you to
have native methods--its not designed with the same concepts as lua--that
being slapdash mixing of compiled and scripted code. The ColdC language
was designed as a clean, safe, system for a server to be coded in.
Because it strongly defines server and database roles, you generally have
a much more stable database (last time I remember a 'crash' on the Cold
Dark was over a year ago). So basically, you can likely do what you
want--but I wouldn't suggest doing much driver hacking. The driver is an
interpreter--not the game engine itself. The game engine is written in
ColdC. For a manual see:
<A HREF="http://ice.cold.org/bin/help?node=coldc">http://ice.cold.org/bin/help?node=coldc</A>
And make note when you are at that web server--*EVERYTHING* there is
written in ColdC, and is all running under the same server (that is, the
entire virtual environment, http server and many other things are all
written in ColdC).
