Zippy-Egoboo is the Next Best Thing in Egoboo! Though based largely on the 2.22 codebase, it rewrites and refactors a lot of the code to improve the quality. The main benifit is the addition of the Lua scripting language.

Lua is a very powerful language that's designed to be easilly embeddable. With this addition, many more interesting objects and monsters can be created. It will also ease the creation of new objects by allowing the inheritence of several base types. All in all, this means object and monster creators can concentrate on what there object/creature does that's unique, instead of having to reinvent the wheel.

Because of the drastic changes to the code, and the use of Lua, the way objects are used in modules is much different then Egoboo 2.22.

Zippy is not yet finished, and is still under development.
