LUA speed

Is anywhere some benchmark for LUA language speed on iOS with compare ObjectiveC ? I found only some benchmarks for graphics. But I want create board game where iPhone will be think and I need create quick engine. [import]uid: 4460 topic_id: 6778 reply_id: 306778[/import]

I don’t know about specific benchmarks, but it’s fast enough for a board game. I mean, unless you’re talking about a chess program that’ll beat Kasparov. Speed differences between languages only start to matter once you’re writing loops than run a few thousand times, like in a software renderer or really high-end AI; a few dozen if-then-else statements in the logic of a board game is cake.

The question really is what kind of board game? [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 6778 reply_id: 23719[/import]
