GP2X Scripting Engine?

[Daid]

I'm looking for a scripting engine to use in a game I'm working on. Right now my only option is:

LUA http://www.lua.org/
It compiles out of the box, but by default uses doubles. With some fiddling should be able to use longs.

But I don't really like the LUA syntax, I rather have a C syntax. But I cannot find any other scripting engine that's small enough or flexable enough for my needs...

Well, python would definitely take care of the flexible requirement, but I don't know if it's as small as you want.

Why don't you use C... You could try Fenix. Not exactly sure how well it would suit your needs though. Or how fast the gp2x port can go exactly.

"Small" is pretty easy to integrate and is vaguely C-like.

Lua looks a lot like Python

I think that LUA is the most indicated for small and powerful scripting engine. But if you want something more C like, you can look at http://www.s-lang.org/. Pay attention s-lang, even if a sintax more C like, is not C (of course) and is somewhat more low level than lua.

BTW: most of the game use lua or python as script language, but python is often considered as an overkill, for simpler task and lua preferred. Take a look at: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaVersusPython

Hi

Squirrel is really nice, or at least I think so.
Its LUA like but has some syntax changes for objects etc. which I prefer. It also has some nice binding options.

The Work In Progress page on the wiki makes it seem like GameMonkey works great with the GP2X. I've used GameMonkey before, and it's pretty awesome. It has the C-Style sytax you want.
