How to embed IronPython in a C# application for game scripting?

Question

Hello everybody!

I'm currently porting a my tiny space game project from Delphi 2007 Win32 to C#(and XNA). In Delphi, i used RemObjects Open Source scripting solution "PascalScript".

Now that i continue developing the game with C#, i'd like to use IronPython for scripting purposes.

The only problem is, that i don't know how to achieve this. I'd be very happy if some of you could give me some advise.

Answer 1

Hey.. If you just want to see how it can be achieved...

Here's one example to do that.

Answer 2

The DLR in C# 4.0 will provide native support for calling Python code programmatically; so anything you can try before 2010 will be hackish at best.

Answer 3

This is an even better example ( C# in VS 2008)
