AngelScript is a game-oriented interpreted compiled scripting language.
AngelScript features static typing, object handles (similar to C++ pointers but garbage collected via reference counting), object-orientation, single inheritance, multiple inheritance with interfaces. Allows operators to be registered and overloaded. AngelScript can be used with any C++ IDE, such as Netbeans, Geany, Eclipse, and also supported by AngelJuice IDE developed specifically for the language.
C and C++ functions can be called within an AngelScript environment. AngelScript's class syntax closely follows C++ classes by design: no proxy functions are required to embed AngelScript in C++ applications easing the two languages integration. There are several differences of AngelScript and C++:
AngelScript is used in video game development, including Amnesia: The Dark Descent,Amy,Dustforce,Gekkeiju Online,King Arthur's Gold,Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole,Overgrowth,Penumbra: Overture,Penumbra: Requiem,Puddle,Rigs of Rods,Sine Mora,Star Ruler,SuperTuxKart,Warhammer: Mark of Chaos,Warsow. AngelScript is used at the University of Ulm in interactive 3D-Animation program. AngelScript is also used in robotics, for example, to program behavioral rules of robotic agents.
