PuerTS is a multi-language scripting solution from Tencent that embeds JavaScript/TypeScript (and, for Unity, Lua and Python) runtimes into Unity, Unreal Engine, and .NET applications. It provides high-performance C#/C++ interop and generates TypeScript declarations for type-safe access to host engine APIs.

Use cases

• write Unity game logic in TypeScript
• script Unreal Engine gameplay with JavaScript
• embed a V8 or QuickJS runtime in a .NET application
• use npm packages inside a Unity game
• hot-reload game scripts without recompiling the engine
• mix Lua, Python, and TypeScript in one Unity project
• generate TypeScript typings for Unity or Unreal APIs

When to choose

• your team prefers TypeScript/JavaScript over C++ or C# for game logic
• you want to leverage the npm ecosystem inside Unity or Unreal
• you need a fast, type-safe scripting layer with native interop
• you want to mix multiple scripting languages in a Unity project

When to avoid

• you need a purely C#/C++ codebase with no scripting layer
• your target platform cannot ship a JS engine runtime
• you only need simple config scripting where Lua alone suffices
• you require Unreal support for languages other than JavaScript/TypeScript
