14. Scripting Interpreted (not-compiled) for fast prototyping Python vs Lua

15. Python Pros: Open Source Powerful Bound w/Ogre SDK Cons: Very Large Python-Ogre binding requires more software

16. Lua Pros: Open Source Small, lightweight Cons: Out of date documentation Start w/nothing

17. Python We take care of the complexity for you! Python up and running in 10 minutes Ability to pull directly from Ogre
