Remember to join our IRC channel when working on this task! We are on #hedgewars at freenode.net. If you are new to IRC, read this tutorial from a past GCI participant.
Your task
This task is about extending the game's lua API so that it allows easy modification of the game's flags. (Game flags are the bits of the variable 'GameFlags'. They determine gameplay settings, e.g. gfLowGravity)
uScript.pas: Add the following lua API functions so that allow to enable or disable one or more Game-Flag:
EnableGameFlags(gameflag, ...)
DisableGameFlags(gameflag, ...)
ClearGameFlags();
Also, for testing purposes, modify one existing lua script (or make a new one) in a way that it will use these new functions.
Deliverable
A working patch, that applies cleanly to our source tree. This patch should be in the form of a pull from clone, hg export or unified diff format (in order of preference) implementing the functionality required.
