As far back as Quake 1 (in fact, before Quake needed version numbers), there was https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/QuakeC https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/QuakeC which was an interpreted language, although later on it got a compiler to turn it into a native dll.
- aw3c2 15y agoI am clueless about this stuff but: It was interpreted but it was compiled. QuakeC was not a scripting language as one would say. You had/have to compile it. The engine has a VM to handle it.
- shabble 15y agoyeah, you're right. I grabbed the first line of the WP article and missed the part about bytecode and progs.dat. Quite embarrassing, since quakeC was one of the first languages I played around with, and I don't remember the compile step. Then again, I was working from tutorials so it's possible there was just a 'compile & run' batch file or something.
