Add: Squirrel scripting #349

Best described as "Lua grew up and learnt C++" Apparently the API and general design is very similar to Lua, meaning the existing lua backend could continue to exist, and will allow me to write an abstraction layer between the "plugin system" and "scripting backend"

Apparently there are other options instead of sqplus now and are on the squirrel wiki.

For reference: http://wiki.squirrel-lang.org/default.aspx/SquirrelWiki/Lua%20Compared%20to%20Squirrel.html

GameMonkey is also nice (there are variants gmsrc_ex for example)

replace lua with squirrel?

Razish commented 8 years ago

Not necessarily. Could allow both.

Exmirai commented 8 years ago

is squirrel compatible with lua?

Razish commented 8 years ago

Doubtful, but it is designed very much the same as Lua.

ensiform commented 8 years ago

Squirrel has a syntax more similar to C++ rather than Lua afaik. I believe semi-colons are also required :)
