I have just written a lengthy note in French, to my French teacher, to motivate him to learn video game development with @LuaLang and @obey_love . Chances are low, but if he catches the bait, it might mean I will have to get involved too, at least at start, to help him.

I just added two more custom tags to the YAML parser for Lua found at github.com/arcapos/luayaml: !Lua/file assigns to a value a chunk from a file as a function. !Lua/callfile assigns to a value whatever a chunk in a file returns. Docs at lua.msys.ch/lua-module-ref
