[C++-sig] Vega Strike uses boost::python

[Daniel Horn]

Vega Strike is the 3D Space Simulator that allows you to trade and
bounty hunt in a vast universe. Players face dangers, decisions, piracy,
and aliens...

Instead of going the hackneyed route of using Lua for game scripting,
Vega Strike (http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/) 
has decided to base its scripting on python, using boost as the layer
between the class hierarchy in python and the class hierarchy in C++.
The result is a very flexible scripting system that treats units as
native python classes when designing missions or writing AI's.

A large economic and planetary simulation is currently being run in the
background in python and the results are returned back into C++ in the
form of various factions' spaceships appearing near worlds that they are
simulated to be near in python if the player is in the general
neighborhood.
