Can anyone recomend any other embedable scripting languages that are suitable for games etc? It as to be object oriented (or provide some sort of hacked way to make it object oriented, like LUA) and high level. I understand that &#106avascript and java can also be embedded, how come they aren't used as much? [edited by - FearedPixel on March 20, 2003 2:02:59 PM]

Check out Ruby and Scheme, a pure OO language (well, ALMOST pure) and a functional language, respectively.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

as much as what? how do you know?

&#106avascript is also a very large language, and offers little over Lua, which is syntactically similar but far simpler in both design and implementation. <br><br><small>[ <a href="http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html">MSVC Fixes</a> | <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/">STL Docs</a> | <a href="http://www.libsdl.org/index.html">SDL</a> | <a href="http://www.gameai.com/ai.html">Game AI</a> | <a href="http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/%7Ebeej/guide/net/">Sockets</a> | <a href="http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/">C++ Faq Lite</a> | <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost</a> <br> <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">Asking Questions</a> | <a href="http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/orgfiles/">Organising code files</a> | <a href="http://pages.eidosnet.co.uk/kylotan/downloads.html">My stuff</a> | <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyxml">Tiny XML</a> | <a href="http://www.stlport.org">STLPort</a>]</small>

I based that on the fact that there are so many posts here on Python, LUA etc, yet I hardly see &#106avascript etc mentioned as an alternative.

So my answers are:
As much as LUA Python etc, I don't I just based that upon what i saw here.

Never knew you could embed &#106avascript in an app.<br>Could you show an example? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
