PAWN Language

Posted on November 13, 2007 by Ben Cecka

After all these years of avoiding the gritty language of C, my last class forced me to get into just that. Honestly, other than being much more detailed in data-types, I found the logic control to be very comfortable given my experience with PHP.

So, now that I’ve been getting familiar with the syntax I realized that I have a new software repository syncing application that has been dying to be written. C is of course a terrible choice given the plethora of modern OOP languages that can do the trick much more easily. Problem: The new remote platform that is supposed to save me from PCI DSS hell runs the SMALL scripting language. Never heard of it? Er. It’s called PAWN now. Still never heard of it.

Thankfully, some guides that I’ve seen claim that C, C++, and HTML experience will make coding in Pawn a breeze. Cheers.
