Community

Newcomers do well to visit the forums where a large portion of the community frequent and can help with any doubts for getting started. This is also a great place to report bugs where the resolution can be shared with the rest of the community as well.

Those who prefer IRC can join the #angelscript channel on webchat.freenode.net, where a group of developers hang out.

The community wiki may also be visited for extra information. The wiki is open for the community to contribute information such as tips & tricks, samples, and tutorials.

AngelScript Engine Interface Documentation Generator

Foddex has created a documentation generation that works nicely with AngelScript and allow the application developer to keep the documentation for the script API where it is registered to make it easier to maintain as the interface changes.

Download docgen from github.com

JIT compiler

If you like AngelScript, you may be interested in testing the JIT compiler for AngelScript that Blind Mind Studios implemented. While AngelScript is already quite fast a JIT compiler can still improve the performance quite a bit.

Download the JIT compiler from github.com

BlueCat's fork has some needed fixes, that have yet to be applied in the original version

asdbg - Remote debugger

codecat, a.k.a. Miss, has also implemented a remote debugger for AngelScript projects. It is easily integrated into the application code, and the debugger GUI has a nice interface with a visual code view.

Download asdbg from github

Note: The GUI is implemented in C#

Intellij AngelScript plugin

Matt Hornung has implemented a plugin to add support for AngelScript syntax highlighting and code completion in IntelliJ IDEA

AngelScript Add-on Template Library

Sami Vuorela has implemented a template container library that brings to AngelScript useful containers such as: vector, list, set, unordered_set, map, and unordered_map. Those who are familiar with C++ STL template containers will feel right at home with this add-on library.

Automatic wrappers for smart pointers

Registering smart pointers with AngelScript requires the use of wrappers to be able to properly call the members. SiCrane from GameDev.net provided a template based automatic wrapping for this purpose.

RefCountingObject system for AngelScript

Petr Ohlídal has created a smart pointer implementation compatible with C++ and AngelScript, to make it easier to handle the reference counting.

C++ STL-style array that's compatible with AngelScript

This handy template class written by Squared'D functions almost identically to an ordinary std::vector, yet it is compatible with AngelScript's array by embedding an CScriptArray.

print function with variadic parameters for AngelScript

Patrick Jeeves has implemented a nice print function with support for variadic parameters (up to 16) that can be used from the script.

Preprocessor

Anthony Casteel wrote a quite capable pre-processor for AngelScript back in 2005. Though Anthony is no longer supporting it and has removed it from his site, the pre-processor can still be found on github.com as part of the AngelJuice IDE.

Codecat Preprocessor

codecat, a.k.a. Miss, wrote a general purpose preprocessor that works for AngelScript as well.

C interface

I've written a C interface that can be used to integrate AngelScript with other languages than C++, for example C, Delphi, Pascal, etc. As it is not part of the standard SDK I do not keep it updated with every release, but it is quite easy to update for the latest release when needed, so don't hesitate to let me know if you'd like to have it updated.
