Game Programming with Pyton, Lua and Ruby

Summary

Programming is turning more and more into an everyman's tool. Every single day, software becomes easier for everyone to use. High-level languages are behind this incredible movement in Game programming. Today, because of these incredible languages, games are released with hooks, customizable engines, their own languages, and modifiable graphics. This can be accomplished in development using a data-driven, partnered game design model.

A few important points to take from this chapter:

• There are a number of things to consider before including high-level languages in a development project.

• Extending a high-level language can allow two or more languages to really focus on what they are good at in a single project, but it adds a layer of complexity.

• Extending is a similar process in Python, Lua, and Ruby.
