eyeonScript and Lua
Structurally and syntactically, eyeonScript is similar to Visual Basic, C++ and other object oriented languages, without much of the additional complexity that object oriented languages like these impose. The similarities between eyeonScript and other commonly used languages makes it easy for anyone who knows the basics of another modern programming languages to quickly pick up on the basic syntax, and to read existing sample scripts with little to no training.
eyeonScript is in fact based on the Lua language, a powerful light-weight programming language designed by TecGraf for extending applications. More information on Lua, and TecGraf, can be obtained at http://www.lua.org. Lua was chosen as the basis for eyeonScript because it is powerful but small, because it was designed from the ground up to extend existing applications in a simple and straightforward manner, and because it completely platform independent.
One of the advantages to using Lua as the base for eyeonScript is that Lua can easily be embedded into the other applications used in your facility, particularly in house applications critical to your production pipeline. If you believe that Lua may be of additional use to you, visit the Lua website for more details. You can also contact sdk@eyeonline.com for additional details on incorporating eyeonScript into your own application.
