I built Geolua, a website that allows you to play and develop mobile adventures
using lua. Lua runs on the server side and controls the user interface and game logic
of one or many players. Players use a web browser (on their phones) to play.
I tried to make it easy for programmers to get started: There is lots of
executable example code available on the documentation page: http://geolua.com/doc
Players can be guided to locations or interact with the environment or other players by scanning qr codes. Here is an
example, showing all available widgets and some qr code multiplayer interaction: http://geolua.com/adventure/all-widgets-132
The site is written in python, using werkzeug and jinja2. I'm using GWT on the game page. The wsgi app is running in
gunicorn behind nginx/varnish. Lua is running sandboxed in a custom service called luaengine. It hosts all active lua
instances.
I'd like to hear your feedback and questions. Thanks!

The sourcecode of some adventures is available on github: https://github.com/dividuum/Geolua-examples
