Re: [ANN] Decoda Lua IDE and debugger

["Peter Cawley" <lua@...>]

Hey,

How does the debugger work from a game standpoint? For example, the
Dawn of War series of games use LUA for AI scripting, if the game is
running in windowed mode, then can Decoda be debugging the same
lua_State that the game is using for AI, given that the game loads lua
from a DLL?
