The problem is is that you aren't really relearnig anything. C-script and Lite-C are remarkably similar. The changes you'd have to make are minor and conversion is well documented. There are a couple of sections where it gets into new territory, but all and all it's not a huge difference. It's just a lot of little things that just happen to add up; however once you've used the new way a few times, it will become 2nd nature just like anything else.



Exactly. What's being done here makes sense. As far as I know, C-script will be supported throughout A7. Now, let's say A7 is there for 2-3 years. This should give anyone enough time to finish there projects with c-script. If your creating a new project today, and expect it to be in development for 4-5 years, then use Lite-C. If you've just been working on something for a year or so, odds are you don't have a large amount of code and can change it to Lite-C without too much trouble.

Also, I wouldn't say this engine is focusing on kids at all. The templates focus on beginners, not necessarily kids. If your a serious developer you wouldn't need the templates, because I guarantee that you will need to learn how to program to achieve a large game. Also, look for some of Doug's older posts. It seems as though there will be some exciting updates for template users sometime within A7.
