    The point of a scripting language is to eliminate the need for third party software and programming knowledge.

    No, no it is not.

    Example of two particle simulations, one using scripted code one using normal built in code.

    Okay so I haven't put in collision scripts, if you really want me to do that to prove my point then say.

    Your point is invalid. You have written it in Visual Basic and your language is not even a scripting language as much as a markup language ...

    So no, it proves nothing.

    But it gets the job done?

    Do that for the powder toy and have on collision 'in my form of scripting' and anyone can edit and create with ease

    Simple, Assembly-like languages are easy to create, lex and parse.

    No, it doesn't get the job done.

    How about a file that contains all of the element coding like antb's mod has that gets downloaded on launch. Or when you click a button above the update button that says update elements. Therefore nothing new would have to be implemented. All it would have to do is replace the files. not the actual binary.

    Reason for bump: I think this should be discussed more, as it seems like a valid topic.

     Several thousand lines of code? Who is so patient?
