The AngelCode Scripting Library, or AngelScript as it is also known, is an
|
|
extremely flexible cross-platform scripting library designed to allow
|
|
applications to extend their functionality through external scripts. It has
|
|
been designed from the beginning to be an easy to use component, both for
|
|
the application programmer and the script writer.
|
|
|
|
Efforts have been made to let it call standard C functions and C++ methods
|
|
with little to no need for proxy functions. The application simply registers
|
|
the functions, objects, and methods that the scripts should be able to work
|
|
with and nothing more has to be done with your code. The same functions used
|
|
by the application internally can also be used by the scripting engine, which
|
|
eliminates the need to duplicate functionality.
|
|
|
|
For the script writer the scripting language follows the widely known syntax
|
|
of C/C++, but without the need to worry about pointers and memory leaks.
|
|
Contrary to most scripting languages, AngelScript uses the common C/C++
|
|
datatypes for more efficient communication with the host application.
