Top 20 C++ Scripting Projects

  • V8

    The official mirror of the V8 Git repository

    Project mention: [AskJS] Do you have to be a natural talent to reach deep knowledge? | reddit.com/r/javascript | 2023-01-13

  • AutoHotkey

    AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows.

    Project mention: Another UI trick with Autohotkey - double "m" = M | reddit.com/r/dwarffortress | 2023-01-26

    Autohotkey is a very lightweight scripting language for automation. Here you can download it (i use v1.1): https://www.autohotkey.com/

  • InfluxDB

  • CopyQ

    Project mention: CopyQ (Clipboard manager with advanced features) 6.4.0 | reddit.com/r/linux | 2023-01-19

    At https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/27 the topic Wayland is covered. There are also a few solutions mentioned that you can use temporarily.

  • sol2

    Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:

    Project mention: CBN Changelog: December 3, 2022. Improved LUA support in progress! | reddit.com/r/cataclysmbn | 2022-12-03

    This version relies on a Lua C++ wrapper called sol2 to hide Lua stack management from the developer, so creating new bindings can be done by adding a few lines of human-readable C++. It still has to be done manually, but at least sol2 is able to automatically figure out types of objects being bound, so it's not much different from our de-/serialization code.

  • luau

    A fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language derived from Lua

    Project mention: Nelua, AOT statically typed Lua | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-26

    Wow, amazing stuff. I love Lua, it was how I learned programming as a kid. Coincidently from the same world as the author. Open Tibia.

    The author made a custom client (https://github.com/edubart/otclient) for the game that is still very much in active use by thousands of players. He's a very skilled developer.

    Great to see AOT typed Lua, I know of the other solutions: Luau, Teal, TypeScriptToLua, Terra, etc., but this one is my favorite so far.

    Love the simple compilation to C (and WASM support via Emscripten). Though Terra's JIT is enticing and good replacement for LuaJIT, this is for embedded systems, it's a good replacement for Lua PUC-Rio.

    Project mention: Generating vertices for non-basic blocks help (Beginner) | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2022-08-22

    Another method I think I noticed (probably not, not really sure what I'm talking about) is from Hopson97's open-builder game open-builder/chunk_vertex.glsl at master · Hopson97/open-builder · GitHub where texture coords are stored in the vertex shader. Would the idea for other block types for the above method to have a 2d array of the other block types textures like doors etc? Not sure about this method cause doesn't this require a vertex buffer which the "figured out an optimization" guy says is slow. If so that doesn't seem very sustainable.
