Back to HomeThe En Framework is a free, open-source set of libraries and utilities used as a framework for the Linden Scripting Language and SLua in Second Life.
En is under active and ongoing development; many functions are undocumented and have not been fully tested. Do not use this framework in your projects until this message is removed! It is experimental and highly unstable!
SLua support is currently limited and untested until SLua is available on a Linux-compatible viewer.
