Baldurs Gate - written i Pure Basic?

Hehe... I see this rumor more and more on the Internet now... I guess it isn't true - not that PB doesn't cope - just the fact that cross plattform development should be hard if you wrote it in PB... For now...

Where? I can't find anything about it. Perhaps it was an April Fool Joke?

This is interesting:

Apparantly it was written in something called LUA:

http://www.lua.org

The post also says that there is a PureLua extension for purebasic out there somewhere.

So there is a connection, of sorts.

Anybody know about this purelua?

Using script laguages in games is a cool thing to do because most of the time you can alter scripts at runtime and see immediate results, this is one thing Python excells at. See this link: http://www.codemasters.co.uk/severance/eng/Index3.htm Severance was almost completely written in Python (except the C++ core exe) all lighting, ai, physics, fluids, level structure, gfx effects, etc. Install the game and take a look in the games folder, all the source is there!!! I think they forgot to distribute the *.pyc (binary compiled) Python files instead of the *.py (text source) files! Cool Game though!

No, this was a while ago - and I've seen it on different sites... I'll see if I can find the links...
