Hi all,
|
|
|
|
I've been designing a large game project, and I want it to be easily
|
|
extensible. It's a space combat/exploration/trade game, in the spirit of
|
|
the original Elite. What I want to be able to do is add new units to the
|
|
game while the player is in the middle of a game that has lasted weeks (or
|
|
any arbitrary length of time) already.
|
|
|
|
I've started looking into Python as the AI scripting language for this
|
|
purpose, but I'm having trouble seeing exactly how I could do this. I want
|
|
a message passing architecture - so one object in the game world sends a
|
|
message to another for interpretation (along with a Python tuple for the
|
|
parameters of the message perhaps). This requires a two way interface
|
|
between my C++ code and the Python script loaded for the particular game
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
My question is, how can I load the Python script, let my C++ object call
|
|
functions within the Python script, and provide a callback for the Python
|
|
script to call methods in the C++ object?
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
Tim
