Scar Divi vs. Simba?

[danih]

Hi, I've recentely came across Simba as an alternative to Scar and both of them seem to have a very similar base. I was wondering which one is better suited for game automation?

Pretty much the same, tho you will find that SCAR Divi is generally more stable, and internal functions are slightly faster in general... However Simba has a bigger userbase, which means more/faster support.

 

Simba is moving towards Lape as there script-engine, which means that you will NOT get any userfriendly error-messages (when code fails), tho a lot of users still use PascalScript (you can choose engine in the option menu [for now]), Lape is faster and has a better syntax, but at the cost of bugs, and no proper error messages.

SCAR sticks with PascalScript, and is slowly moving towards DelphiWebScript (both very userfriendly). I for one can't wait to see Freddy releasing SCAR 4.0! Tho hopefully before the userbase here has totally disappeared.

 

Simba is activly worked on by the community, however there is not so often anything new, mostly just maintenance, some additions from time to time.

SCAR is developed by one person, which causes the development to stagnate from time to time (very rarely anything new, and low level of maintenance).

I use both SCAR and Simba, tho I still prefer SCAR (by a slight margin).

I will use which ever suits my needs at the time. I prefer SCAR by a long shot. Much more stable/finished/polished. Unfortunately the scripting community has thrown its support behind Simba resulting in a much more active user base. I find I wind up "reinventing the wheel" a lot using SCAR.

 

In truth I don't much like Simba but without the active community here I often finding myself forced to use it to get the job done.
