Re: [GD-Consoles] question: Embedded scripting language on console

[Brett B. <res...@ga...>]

There's also a middle-ground approach you might consider, and I would be
curious as to other peoples experience in implenting, and that is using
libraries.  In our case the programmers are doing the scripting, performance
is a high priority, and we can't compile the game code into the engine
because there is too much.  Our plan is to build a lib from normal C source
for the target platform and runtime link it (similar to CodeWarrior overlays
on PS2).  This translates to ELF for GC and PS2 and COFF for PC.  It is
pretty straightforward so far, but memory handling for function variables is
looking like it will give us some headaches.  We may impose some rules on
how memory is used and declared to solve that, but has anybody implemented
this before?
