### [Undergrad Thesis on Game Scripting for Legion][legion-script]

In December 2020, [@pablodiegoss] and [@rodrigocam] presented their undergrad
thesis where they created a proof-of-concept scripting system for the Legion ECS,
called [Legion Script][legion-script].
Legion is being currently integrated into the [Amethyst game engine][amethyst],
and this contribution might be included in future releases.

With [Legion Script][legion-script], it is possible to declare, write and read
components into Legion using Python scripts.
However, this project exports an API which can be evolved
for other languages and interpreters.

Since then, both developers have been sharing their work and receiving feedbacks
for the project while planning the next steps for the code, which is available
at [GitHub][legion-script].

The PDF version of the thesis could be found
in [this Amethyst forum thread][thesis-thread].
