C++ vs Lua

[tumira]

Is there a speed difference between those two ? How much speed difference would you expect ?

[Genebris]

Not enough to care about it.

I'd rather say it this way: there is a huge speed difference BUT unless you are going to write some really really heavy code, graphics, physics, etc will take up 99% of your time between the frames. These things are handled by LW internally, which is written in C++. No matter, whether your own code is C++ or LUA, these LW-functions will always be executed from their compiled C++-form.

 

TL;DR:

You most likely won't notice any difference.

Thank you guys.

Complex maths is alot faster in c++.

If you are just calling leadwerks functions and doing simple if tests and loops you won't gain anything using c++
