Lua (https://www.lua.org) is a simple scripting language which can be easily integrated in other software. Therefore, why not bind BRL-CAD to it and create and modify geometries with Lua scripts? This task is about bug-fixing the hellobrlcad test program.

In preparation, you have to compile and Install BRL-CAD from latest source code and compile the experimental features from BRL-CAD's rt^3 module. There are own tasks for this.

Here: The hellobrlcad program in rt^3/tests should print the title of a BRL-CAD database, but it won't. Find the cause and repair it in the program or embeddedLua.

When you are done, SUBMIT a patch file which can be applied to the rt^3 branch of the BRL-CAD repository.
