[glob2-devel] New scripting API

[Stephane Magnenat]

Hello,

One week ago, during our holidays, Martin Voelkle (Marvelous) and me discussed 
the futur of glob2 scripting. As a custom scripting solution is suboptimal in 
development time, execution speed and ease of use, we planned to use mono and 
CLI instead of SGSL for the futur of glob2. The whole .NET API won't be 
present, juste the core (basic types and reflection) and the glob2 API.

I propose that we discuss the Glob2 API there. Of course we already have ideas 
but I'm interested in the needs of the maps and campaigns designers.

I think the new script will first be implemented in a custom branch and will 
probably only be available post 1.0, be this depends on the relative 
development speed of the 1.0 stabilization and script development, and if the 
new script is ready, I'm ready to violate the relative feature freeze of 1.0 
because CLI languages are much easy to use then badly documented custom SGSL 
and having forward map compatibility from 1.0 is good.
