V8

I found this scripting engine called V8. Google uses it in their browsers, and has great documentation on it's install.

I have to say I know javascript pretty well, and would even be willing to write some simple tutorials

Ready. Set. Go.

Are there any (dis)advantages to Lua?

Not necessarily.. The syntax is a little strange, and while I could go either way, I'm much more proficient in javascript. Plus, javascript has hoards of documentation.

lua.org

Alright, alright, just listing options.

lua is a good language in my opinion, it's also good to have options

I like V8 fusion more than the other V8's because they taste bad. oh wait this is about a program?

Tee Hee

I like javascript because it has a format similar to php, c, c++ etc. Especially brackets But I suppose if everyone is super attached to LUA..

I completely and totally thought this was some spambot thread advertising V8 juice! Well, I think what we've got now is perfectly fine. Of course, I'll wait for Bashi to give this a look.

I need to learn how to code and do lua stuff so i'm more usefull than a vat of so-so ideas.

Have we implemented LUA yet?

I beleive so, but I don't KNOW so. Ask Bashi.

I have, but he hasn't emailed for a while..

After a quick look through the source, I haven't noticed anything.. I could be wrong.

You should ask him now! He's on right now.

Well, not anymore.

Wait to change anything about programming until Bashi checks in on it. Head programmer is a busy man.

I realize that.

Busy? Yes. Bossy? No. I'm open to anything.

And he cant technicallychange anything anyway, he doesn't have write access to the repositories.

Something I'll change today when i get home, by the way.

Having said that, even without write access he could down the repos and upload to his own repos.

My point is, even if I am denoted head programmer, it is an open source project, anyone is welcome to take any of the source and make something else of it. Of course given credit to Papergrape and I for the current source on the repo, according to the GNU GPL, and anyone else that we give write access to that commits to the repo.

We aren't Sven.

Hooray!

Anyway, what's your input?

I personally hate javascript in general.

I can express my feelings with one line:

var array1 = new array();

What. The. Brussels (capitol of Belgium)

Although

Apparently execution speed is fater than lua. I couldnt find however if that is against uncompiled lua scripts, or compile ones. Games will always use compiled lua scripts (JIT compiling. before running a script the first time, we compile it. then cache the compiled script until the script source changes)

What's wrong with that?

You can also say:

Code:

var array1 = [];

Maybe that makes a little more sense.

All of the past few quotes have been broken... I think our quote function broke.

Parse errors that was me. It's missing a ']'
