Lua Script to capture date/time

[Kit Cosby]

It would be of use to be able to read system time in our lua scripts, this will give us a fully dynamic (more random) seed for our randomization algorithms.

Time seed randomization might even favor early starters, which could add a fun twist to the game (and reward those of us who spend a lot of time in these puzzles).

Since we all tend to use very similar scripts a better randomization seed would produce a wider variety of saved structures.

Likewise, it will help organize our log files of our recipe outputs. (Once you let us have log files)

Done…lua scripting allows the lua OS library calls. However, we will introduce a better function to seed the random number generator in the near future. Seeding from time has issues in lua.

Scripting has access to the OS library (I think it's still in beta…but will move to main shortly). We will also provide a function to give a good seed, since the seeding from time in Lua provides a bad set of random numbers.
