RE : Game Programming With Python, Lua, and Ruby

["Jacky Buyck" <jacky.buyck@...>]

Hi all.
If you search a book concerning integration of scripting langage in an
application let's take a look to the following book : 
Game Scripting Mastery in the Game Dev Serie. I've discovered it recently
and the few that I've see is really interesting.
They talk about basic concept of scripting theory to advanced one but I
can't say more cause I've read the 1100+ pages.

here's the publisher info:
 
The use of high-level languages in game development has been on the rise for
several years. This book serves as the ideal manual for those who wish to
learn to program games using high-level languages. It presents sample
scripts and programming in a simple, straightforward way, organized in a
reference-friendly manner. Python, Ruby, and Lua are being used in game
production at major companies (Disney, Humongous, and Bioware included).
Some popular games using these languages include Alice, Impossible
Creatures, and Baldur's Gate. The CD will include all source code from the
book, at least one complete open source game engine for each language,
compilers for each program, the HAP debugger, the Twisted Framework,
libraries, and plug ins.
Features


*	The three scripting languages are all discussed separately, each
with their own section. 

*	A great tool for learning high-level languages 

*	Suitable for beginners, game developers, or programmers 

*	Comes with finished and tested open source game code and scripts

Just for clarification, to me this looks more like "Programming Games in
Python, Lua and Ruby" rather than "Adding a Scripting Engine to Games with
Python, Lua and Ruby."

Haven't heard of it!  There's (very little) more information
from the publisher here:

Great to see Lua (particularly in games) make it to a book (and
surely the author, Tom Gutschmidt, is on this mailing list?).
