C++, LUA Eki one

[dennis]

Hey all...

 

I have some good AI programmer. and now i want to buy him EKI one

but my project is in LUA...

he only can do C# and C++

 

so:

when He makes the AI in C++ or C# (inside EKIONE) can it then be exported to a LUA project?

or is there a way to run the CPP or C# under my lua game?

 

Cheers

Have you done any research into EKI? at all?

[dennis]

Yes. But a few things are not really clear to me. Sorry for asking at all lol?

EKI One currently requires your engine to be written in C++ as it uses a C++ interface. In Leadwerks this of course does not preclude you from using LUA to script objects, as you know, but EKI One will not work with a Leadwerks engine purely written in LUA!

 

However, the AI in EKI One must be written in LUA and is executed within the EKI One engine which runs in real time along side your C++ engine. The EKI One AI engine effectively runs an AI simulation of your game for you in real time and passes whatever information you need it to to your game for you to use.

 

I hope this helps clarify the situation.

 

I will finish the documentation to go with the EKI One Leadwerks Integration example this weekend. It's the only thing currently outstanding. The whole package will go to the Masa Group for final approval/comment prior to me releasing it immediately after in the Leadwerks Asset store.

 

This is why experienced programmers will tell people to use C++, simply because it offers so many more possibilities to interface into other third party tools, not out of any purism as we are often accused of
