For some unknown reason my last post isn’t showing up, I don’t know if these forums are moderated with pre-hiding; perhaps it was the fact that I had links.
Basically I was suggesting V8 as a script host target for integration, and note that there are several language that compile down to JS including Lua and C#. Chromeexperiments dot-you-know is strong validation that V8 is a quite reasonable scripting engine for HUD and background tasks. That said, Awesomium is another approach for the HUD, and I don’t know where we stand on free Awesomium integration. I’d like to use Canvas+JS on the HUD personally, and I’d rather not pay a third party for it.
