Scripting Reference / API

GameCore includes somewhere around 1000 different functions (we've lost track along the way) that you can use to implement your games.  These functions expose the internals of GameCore and give you access to everything you need to implement your games.  Everything from high-level GameManager & Viewport functions to low-level Matrix & Socket control is available through the Scripting API.
