On the Atomic FE website, one of the features it lists is "Fully Scriptable." Does this mean that you can use scripts to change some functionality, or is this referring to the scriptiong options available for making your own background (such as making an object fly across the screen).
If it does refer to fuctionality, is there any documentation? I was unable to find anything at all that refered to scripting. Could someone either help me or correct me.
Thank you.

Hi,
AtomicFE integrate a scripting engine based on Microsoft VBScript engine.
It is fully scriptable.
You can use script to enhance layout if you want. But you can add other functionnalities or change default behaviour.
For instance (just a stupid example) , if your roms are stored in the 7z format , you could unzip the selected rom before running it in the emulator.
Another "stupid" example , you could use the scripting engine of Atomic to make your own video game , hiding completly the Front end aspect!
There is no real documentation on scripting. I did some example but it was more on the Layout aspect not the background work aspect.
The scripting is still at a prototype state , because i'm changing few major things in the core of Atomic and i will need to update the scripting engine.
What kind of thing would like to do?
What is your programming skill? You know VBScript?
I' m looking for guys willing help me to make this functionnality better and test.
