Good scripting languages..

[Nean]

Anyone know of any? I'm not talking about Sadscript, something a bit faster. Hell, if someone can tell me how to make one myself, that'd be great. xD

Why do you want a scripting language other than sadscript oO? There's c++ but I doubt you can add this to a vb-project..

lua

C++ is not a scripting languege.


Nean, when you say sadscript I assume you mean the skin on ms scripting control that elysium ripped out of an example from pscode.

Ms script control is scripting for vb. I don't know of any others easily accessible. It is really not that slow for scripting. What are you planning to do with it?

lua is awesome.

Look heavily into beanshell if you are thinking Java, its the nicest 'scripting' language I've seen bolted directly into Java. Import beanshell.* and BAM a highly flexible scripting language at your fingertips.

Of course, XML is rapidly becoming (if not already) the external file standard to follow and lua is basically a different implementation of that (or so I understand).

To be honest, I've always seen visual basic as a heavyweight adaptation of a scripting language, all the principles are there o.0... have you considered using classes? That might be more what you want..

Classes? Could you elaborate... This is new to me, so I have no idea where to start.

Classes are a fucking mess in VB6.

Classes are amazing.

[Nean]

Someone fucking explain them.

[Dragoons Master]

Resuming... it's a Type with not only variables inside, but also functions, called methods.

[GIAKEN]

Yeah...they're fun. Example:

>

clsPlayer:

Code:

Private Player As PlayerRec

Type PlayerRec
    Name As String
End type

Private Property Let Name(ByVal SetValue As String)
    Player.Name = Trim$(SetValue)
End Sub

<

Then to use that just do this:

>

Wherever:

Code:

Public CPlayer As clsPlayer

CPlayer.Name = "Hey"

[Nean]

Odd.... Thanks for the explanation, I'll have to read up on these.

You can even write your own DirectX 7 class and instead of having all of those public declarations for surfaces and shit you can do it all through the class or even a Winsock class and so on. It's very useful. I haven't tested it speed-wise, but it's probably going to be faster.
