    I end up using C directly for the AI algorithms. It was surely worthy.
If you really intend to use a scripting language, then, just try out with
lua. I think it's the best language for you to test.

    Tainá is a game based on a brazilian movie (from the amazon forest). The
game is not yet being published because it is about to be released. The page
for the movie is at : http://www.taina.com.br/ . I believe the game will be
listed there in a few days. But it's being released this month in Brazil. I
don't know if it'll be published outside Brazil yet.
