UniLua is a pure C# implementation of the Lua 5.2 language, focused on compatibility with Unity3D. It implements the core language features including coroutines and metatables, with some standard libraries partially implemented or omitted.

Use cases

• embed a Lua scripting engine in a Unity game
• run Lua 5.2 scripts from C# code
• call C# functions from Lua scripts
• script game logic in Lua on Unity3D
• use coroutines and metatables in a managed Lua interpreter

When to choose

• you need a pure C# Lua interpreter with no native dependencies in Unity
• you want Lua 5.2 language semantics including coroutines and metatables
• you cannot use P/Invoke or native Lua libraries in your target platform

When to avoid

• you need full standard library coverage such as IO or OS libs
• you rely on __gc metamethods, weak tables, or full userdata
• you need maximum Lua runtime performance in performance-critical code
