Ok, I think I understand. The API for Glob2 is the base API code :-)

I agree, but one may think of some kind of "creature/player plugin" or 
something like that, where the plugins are written in C++ like the rest 
of glob2. I guess the best thing to do is to make some documentation or 
heavy comments of the main core classes, and then keep scripting in the 
maps for relatively simple condition checks.

core dumps :-)

I can't add anything to this statement, I don't know the code and the 
related problems well enough, yet.

I know, just functions on pairs, but a lot of them :-)
