## Intent
|
||
Allows to encode behaviour as instructions for virtual machine.
|
||
|
||
## Applicability
|
||
Use the Bytecode pattern when you have a lot of behavior you need to define and your
|
||
game’s implementation language isn’t a good fit because:
|
||
|
||
* it’s too low-level, making it tedious or error-prone to program in.
|
||
* iterating on it takes too long due to slow compile times or other tooling issues.
|
||
* it has too much trust. If you want to ensure the behavior being defined can’t break the game, you need to sandbox it from the rest of the codebase.
