An Introduction to Squirrel

Overview

This is a relatively brief beginner's guide to the Squirrel language (v3.2) aimed at people with no programming experience interested in trying their hand at VScript. If you already have experience with C-like languages or programming in general I would recommend you visit The Squirrel Reference Manual for a more expedited learning experience.
