A type of programming, often meant to be easier to learn than more "traditional" programming. Scripting is often used when performance is less important than ease of use. Examples of scripting languages are: Javascript, Lua, Perl, Python, and PHP. Scripting languages are often interpreted instead of compiled, and thus they can be executed directly without generating machine code.

This tag is to be used on questions relating to the concepts of scripting, for instance:
- integrating a scripting language into a game,
- creating a scripting language for a game,
- implementing a scripting behaviour to a game,
- etc.
The tag should not be used on questions about debugging a script, or just because the question's language is a scripting language (e.g. if the question is about achieving something in python, don't add this tag).
