L B Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 My C# headers should be more than portable to Mono. I tried it once, worked fine. So far you can use WINE to run LE on Linux, although Josh said previously that he had successfully tested on Linux without WINE, with only minor modifications to his source (it's OGL, after all ). Cool to see more and more people come to C#. I'm perfecting my headers continuously, and as soon Josh releases his compiled Framewerk, I will integrate it seamlessly. LUA scene loading will be included in "Scene.Load()". If you have any suggestions for the C# wrapper, post in the C# section, I'm watching it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiblue Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I enjoy C++ but I my favourite language is Java, not tried it, and not sure if it would be efficient enough for gaming.. maybe when I have some free days I will try it.... like thats going to happen...

cassius Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 When you say that one language is faster than another do you mean a faster framerate? I think maybe sped is governed by the speed of le functions.

tec.imp Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I use C# all the way and thanks to the work of Ubu it works quite well I used to use C++ until now and it does the job quite well, but i wanted to try something new and i was, and still are, surprised how well C# does get the job done. You get so much functionality right out of the box, thats quite awesome! Mfg Imp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe sped is governed by the speed of le functions. I think so too, that's why I moved my project from C++ (which I know very little) to C# (which I use from many years). I hope not to be doing a bad choice. Quote ?? FRANCESCO CROCETTI ?? http://skaredcreations.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 C# will be slower then C++ because of the interpretation that needs to happen. There isn't much getting around. How much slower and if it really affects your game is another question. It might not in which case it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrypt Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 C++ its my language of choice to explore in, I use most languages but C/C++ is still like going home. Its fast, very powerful, and gets-stays out of the way when I want it to. Plus, I have enough code laying around so that most of what I do is already "out of the box" as it were.

cassius Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I get better fps with blitzmax than c++ using the same level. To get comparable fps in c++ I have to switch off some post proccesing stuff but not so with Bmax. I don't know why. Just true in my case.

I've not experienced that, but if it happens to someone, it might be that you are running the C++ in debug mode with the debug define enabled, which will use the debug.dll, which is very very very slow. Also without the debug.dll the C++ debug mode can be slower than BlitzMax in release mode. If your C++ is slower in release mode, then it might be that the slowness of blitzmax comes with the dll, and since there are more blitzmax commands in the dll than in the blitzmax version, then C++ has to process more slow code. When the dll is made in C++, there will be fast code inside, and the dll code will be also fast. So BlitzMax will be faster with LE3 than it is now, and C++ will be also faster than BlitzMax.

L B Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 With the new C# headers, I hope people will start using C#. Next time I get a hold of Josh I'll try to have them officially integrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocopino Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 With the new C# headers, I hope people will start using C#. I'm not sure about a shipping game, because it kinda feels wrong to oblige people to download and install a 300MB framework (even when most users will have it installed already) But for anything else (editors,tools etc.) C# is the perfect solution.

I cannot understand why all non-NET programmers complain about "downloading XXX MB of framework", don't you know that you can simply include the framework redistribution package directly in your setup program?

Digital Anime Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 BlitzMax for me, the reason for that is that I use Basic languages for over 15 years now, starting with MS Basic on my Sony HitBit MSX (It still works ), after that on my dads 286 with QBasic,and after that my Amiga CD32 + SX1 with BlitzBasic II and now BlitzMax on my AMD64 am2 6000+. I tried MS VisualBasic, but didn't like the way it worked... It's nice to see how Basic evolved over time starting out with linenumbers and commands like GOTO or GOSUB to today's OOP.

Xaron Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 BlitzMax. I even bought BlitzMax after I purchased LE. I'm a professional C++ developer and do this all the day but still love BlitzMax for its simpleness and power. Quote Triassic Games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
