The difference between both on the basics is nearly not existent but is very huge when looking and features and thus Lite-C should the way to go for everyone, also for you Loopix wink It is really worth it to use Lite-C for each project you want to start from scratch.

Are there any news on the Lite-C performance? I read some opinions which aren't very charming for Lite-C. The best example probably was Game Edit which must have had a plain terrible performance on Lite-C (far inferior to C-Script)...

As I'm thinking of spending some time with A7 again in the near future I was thinking about learning Lite-C but that point really stopped my enthusiasm so maybe some can comment on that concerning the recent / beta releases...

Enjoy your meal

I don't know who told you that but lite-C is way faster than C-Script. You can try this with a little loop

while (i < 100) {
while (j < 100) {
while (k < 100) {
k += 1; }
j += 1; }
i += 1; }

In most cases speed advantage is not this visible because the engine functions are the same under lite-C or C-Script, but when using only calculations and not calling engine functions, lite-C speed is impressively faster.

there were problems with very long lite-c compile times in some cases but this is supposed to be fixed in the meantime.

lite-c isn't really harder than c-script. if you don't use the more advanced c features then it will look almost exactly like c-script but it offers advantages like much better support for all kinds of local variables for example.

the lite-c debugging features still are quite weak though. this can be annoying.

i must say, when i first started out using lite-c, i pretty much hated it because how fussy it was over lower/upper case and the way it sets flags is just terrible, in my opinion.

But it's more like a real language such as c/c++ which is much stricter on certain things, so it's good programming sense and practise for when you hit the bigger languages.

i guess c-lite is better for beginner's who wish to one day learn c and c++.
