<LOG> THE BYTECODE
WARNING: THIS CHALLENGE HAS BEEN CONSIDERATED TOO HARD FOR PRACTICALLY EVERYONE ASKED; ONLY TRY IT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SUFFER OR HAVE SOME BRAGGING RIGHTS.Make a Lua bytecode interpreter... in Lua 5.1. If you'd like, in RBX.Lua. No loadstring(Bytecode) replies! EDIT: To clarify, you must make a function capable of loading any (working, properly written) Lua 5.1 bytecode passed to it as an argument.

I'm already half way done. Wrote a chunk decoder (that is, from bytecode -> Lua header and top-level prototype which contain all the user-defined prototypes) so all I have to do is just write a few hundred lines of code and keep a state (the program counter, a stack, blah blah) and since we're writing the interpreter in Lua 5.1, it's a one-to-one correspondence to implement everything so it'll be even easier than doing it in any other language.
Although why waste the time since NecroBumpist already made one anyways?

cntkillme NecroBumpist's isn't too bad, but hey, it's a challenge. Not really any purpose as I am already using one.
