5.5 Scripting

- -

Game logic is a web of asynchronous events that are carefully -coordinated to bring the game world to life. In order to make an -enemy follow and attack the player, or move an NPC back and forth in -front of the item shop, or do both at the same time, a scripting -system is a necessity. Chickadee comes with an asynchronous -programming system in the (chickadee scripting) module. -Lightweight, cooperative threads known as “scripts” allow the -programmer to write asynchronous code as if it were synchronous, and -allow many such “threads” to run concurrently. -

But before we dig deeper into scripts, let’s discuss the simple act -of scheduling tasks. -
