I’d recommended you to script the game in Python 2.7 because:
A - it runs on every platform
B - it runs very fast
C - there are WAY more programmers working with it.
D - It is very quickly moving into the role of one of the most used languages.
Also syntax is not that hard, and is very flexible.
That actually reminds me of something the Soviets did to a handful of prisoners of war- put them on an island with only a few bags of flour, and they started eating each other and killing each other. A real life battle-royale scenario, if you will.
