scripting languages : General Discussion

well i was going to start learning how to write these scripts i know a little c++ not mush tho and i was wonder which one would be the best choce for writeing scripts for these games and stuff like that if some one could help me out by telling the pros and cons and which one is the simpleist and most flexable language that would be of great help

VBScript is pretty easy, and JScript it a little more powerful, but also a little more complicated.

If you know C++ the JScript is probably the easiest to grasp. VBScript just doesn't make sense when you're used to C/Java/Pascal.

ok thanks alot

i have one more question what program sould i buy \ books if any
to program in javascript

Don't need any program to create JScript although one with color coding might help. Google is your friend there.

As for a book about JScript... It shouldn't really be needed with the documentation available on MSDN but if you really need one just visit your local library.

Just to add an opinion, I started with VBscript here because that is what the harvest bot I wanted to improve was written in but I have started playing with Jscript and there is no going back. I find Jscript much easier to write in easier to maintain, it seems to run faster and is much easier to write clean code with.

In short VB is, in my opinion, garbage by comparison to Jscript.
