AngelScript is an open-source game-oriented compiled scripting language developed by Andreas Jönsson at AngelCode.
AngelScript features static typing, object handles (similar to C++ pointers but garbage collected via reference counting), object-orientation, single inheritance, multiple inheritance with interfaces. It allows operators to be registered and overloaded. AngelScript can be used with any C++ IDE, such as NetBeans, Geany, and Eclipse.
C and C++ functions can be called within an AngelScript environment.cite-ref-1[1]cite-ref-2[2] AngelScript's class syntax closely follows C++ classes by design: no proxy functions are required to embed AngelScript in C++ applications, easing the two languages' integration.cite-ref-3[3] There are several differences of AngelScript and C++:
• AngelScript does not support multiple inheritance. Multiple-inheritance functionality may be achieved with Interfaces.
• It is impossible to declare methods or properties outside of the class body.
AngelScript is used in video game development,cite-ref-4[4] including
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent,cite-ref-official-list-5-0[5]
• Gekkeiju Online,cite-ref-official-list-5-3[5]
• King Arthur's Gold,cite-ref-official-list-5-4[5]
• Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole,cite-ref-official-list-5-5[5]
• Overgrowth,cite-ref-6[6]
• Penumbra: Overture,cite-ref-official-list-5-6[5]
• Penumbra: Requiem,cite-ref-official-list-5-7[5]

• Sven Co-opcite-ref-official-list-5-15[5]
• and Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Plus,cite-ref-official-list-5-16[5]
In addition, it is also supported as a scripting language in Urho3D. Hazelight Studios maintains a plugin that integrates AngelScript into the Unreal Engine; this plugin was used to write their game, It Takes Two, in AngelScript,cite-ref-7[7] the plugin is also used by Embark Studios in The Finals and the upcoming ARC Raiders.cite-ref-8[8] It is also used at the University of Ulm in its interactive 3D-Animation program,cite-ref-9[9] as well as in robotics; for example, to program behavioral rules of robotic agents.cite-ref-brandoffsayama2009-10-0[10]
