Game Scripting With Python

P. Staurou writes "There is very interesting article about game scripting with Python over at Sylphis3d.com. It talks about how game engines should be structured as operating systems with actors being the processes. The proposed design is based on a special version of Python called Stackless and already successfully implemented in their own Sylphis3D game engine."

You can tell they're not marketing to us dyslexic types.

Another one of those weird reads.

Sylphius uses Python. Python is Open Source, as is Linux. Linux was programmed by Linus Torvalds. Linus Torvalds was in Revolution OS which was narrated by Susan Egan, who was in Death and Texas with Charles Durning, who was in the made-for-TV version of Mister Roberts with Kevin Bacon .

Erm...

I'm not even going to read this thread - I'm sure someone made a similar joke, but I wouldn't use any technology that sounds like you could download it from a cheap hooker.

Re:Python is nice but consider LUA for game script

[deaddrunk]

Dubya has a BASIC? I'd hate to see the syntax for that.

I think we need a new slashdot-tagline.

"In RIAA/MPAA/IP America... "
"... The industry owns YUO!"
"... The mon(k)ey TALKS!"
"... Freedom as owns YUO"!

Amazing. They've invented the compiler.

How very sophomoric. At my game engine company, lowbrow humor like this is neither tolerated, nor condoned with tacit laughter. Shame.
