scripting languages in irrlicht...

[buhatkj]

i was wondering what scripting languages people had tried integrating with irrlicht. i have heard some people talking about CaLua in other threads, and i check it out, but it seems almost as complex as just integrating Lua manually!! i have looked at several open source scripting languages and they all seem to do it the same way, and for the most part seem to be aimed at the C(as opposed to C++) programmer. does anybody else have some code they could point me to of how they did it or some scripting language i havent heard of that does it better?

"Some people talking about CaLua"? Only person that has ever brought it up is me... and it's a lot easier than integrating Lua manually.

Irrlicht to OpenGL = CaLua to Lua

I posted a lot of my code challanges on the Lua support board.

Here is the code I used to test Lua. It's the same library as my XML GUI Loader, but instead of XML, it used Lua to load everything.

personally i like simkin - but thats because i use an XML format for my game and it fits in well - its also easy to integrate

lua is good

the one that is a bear to work with is python - it just seems like too much these days although it is one of the few that is object oriented - i wish there was a python-lite that was easy to plugin

tcl is another easy to plugin scripting format although the language itself is a bit ugly
