As our ultimate goal is cool moddability, and not everything can be done with data mods (with nyan #734) we also need scripting support.

This consists of multiple parts that need to be done:

• Load and run scripts
  • Load scripts via nyan
  • Install script hooks via nyan
  • Let the script manipulate the hooks it installed
• Game manipulation
  • Apply patches in nyan
  • Perform actions with game entities
  • ...
• higher level AI scripting
  • Python interface
  • even higher level lisp-like interface like the original's ai scripting language
  • ...
• Caution users against unsgned mod packs containing scripts
  • We can't and want to sandbox python, you should be able to use http://scikit-learn.org/ and the like
  • The openage-dev-team should be able to sign mods that have approved code: We can still hack your computer with the regular openage code, so we can also sign mod code.
