== Script or not to script ==

One of the components of nrEngine is a scripting interfaces. It provides the developer with a simple interface for including different script languages into the application. The script system does work as a wrapper for different scripting languages. Third party plugins, like ["LuaPlugin"] provides the connective glue code to include the support of a scripting language. 

A plugin does register itself by the engine and specify which kind of scripts it can handle. It can also register functions and methods with the engine, so that a call of any registered function will lead to call of the implementation of that function. Moreover due to the glue functionality of the engine's scripting system a globaly registered function can be accessed in different scripting languages by its proper name. For this a plugin, providing new scripting language, has to connect functions from the engine's script function database with the language interface it provides.
