Creation/Dev/GScript

Introduction

GScript is Graal's scripting language.

Its syntax and some of its semantics might seem familiar to those who program in C or Java, it uses ECMA-Script syntax. In some ways it is more dynamic, e.g. supporting dynamicly joining and leaving of classes, and brings support for easy management of online game content.

It is used for clientside tasks like GUI programming, special effects and custom weapons, and serverside systems like player housing, complex baddies or pets.
