In this episode of the Cocoa Engine Devlog Series, I implement native scripting, or C++ scripting. This process was very painstaking and involved a lot of gotchas. The way the native scripting is implemented is by a custom C++ parser that parses the user's scripts, then it generates C++ code to enable reflection for the user's scripts, next when the user compiles and generates a dll the engine hot reloads the new dll over the old one, and finally it releases all the old memory and reloads all the script states back into the engine.
