Abstract

The present technology provides a scripting tool, built on top of an object component architecture of a game engine for creating games, that binds an event class for a tagged event handler in code at compile time. The event handler in code is tied to movement of one or more objects and associated effects within a game environment. Through the scripting tool, game engineers generate and define an event handler in code for the designers to discover and add various other effects to in forming gameplay sequences. The game designers tag the event along with the other effects, and at compile time, forming an event class including the tagged effects.
