Coding & Scripting

[Calisthenis of Dyrrachium]

What's the difference between coding and scripting? Or is there no difference?

What people refer to as coding is tweaking configuration stuff in the various export_*, descr_* text files, like where the textures/models for the units/buildings are, what their descriptions should be, when to give characters traits, etc.

Scripting is writing campaign/background script code. A script is a set of commands executed sequentially, with some basic flow control mechanisms thrown in for good measure, i.e. if, while, monitor_conditions/monitor_event (event handlers).
