September 23, 2012 [OT] C# scores again for game development | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Since this is one area where D could eventually replace C++, I've decided to post it here. So after Sony decided to make use of C#/Mono for the PS Vita SDK, Nintendo has decided to do the same by supporting Unity for the new Wii U. http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/unity-technologies-enters-extensive-agreement-with-nintendo-to-support-wii-u-1703600.htm -- Paulo |

Note that it is only the scripting part of Unity that is C#/Mono. The core engine and editor is C++.

The core engine is C++.
Mono takes care of allowing any .NET language to be used as scripting language, with C#, JavaScript and Boo having the main roles, while compiling them AOT to native code as well.

UnityScript - not Javascript. They resemble each other but UnityScript has classes and supports static types etc. Much better in my opinion.
