This paper explores the design and implementation of a robust, lightweight, and modular Lua system for managing complex in-game economic behaviors (e.g., "Bubblegum Simulators" or similar clicker/management games). It proposes a best-practice framework that keeps core game engine logic in C++ while offloading behavior, rewards, and inventory management to Lua. Proposed Structure Introduction and inventory management to Lua.

Implementation: Defining table-based structures to manage player state dynamically.

Design: Creating discrete modules ( Economy.lua , Inventory.lua , Rewards.lua ) instead of one giant file.

Why Lua is the dominant choice for embedded scripting (speed, small footprint).
