[gameprogrammer] RES: Re: C# vs C++

Hi,

 

Thanks for your answer. I was actually thinking about XNA when I decided to
ask this. I think you?re right and C++ looks like a better choice ? for me
at least.

 

Thanks,

Dirso

well, i dont have any specific numbers but...

 

C# is deffinately fast enough to make some games (chess for instance hah!)

 

but the more complicated the game, the more an issue speed will become
obviously :P

 

I wouldn't use C# to make a game personally but people do it! (check out
http://einfall.blogspot.com/)

 

i think XNA is C#? i could be wrong tho.

 

anyhow, if you program in C++ it's easier to port your game to other
platforms - such as iphone, DS, Wii, 360, etc.

 

And well, mono makes C# possible but do they have directx support?

 

I would argue that in the grand scheme of things, C++ programming is far
better for multiplatform development since every system / operating system
basically has a C++ compiler, but .net support is much more limited.

 

my 2 cents anyhow! (:

Hi,

 

I worked with C# last year and I just loved it!! I worked with C/C++ since
98 and I was a huge fan (still do), but C# because of mone and .net
framework looks like a pretty good solution for cross plataform programming.
How slower a C# Game Engine could be than a C++ one? I worked developing a
Google Earth alike commercial software and it works still pretty fast, but I
heard too much noise about C# getting too slow for those kind of
applications? Would it be just slower at loading time or the execution also
sucks? Does anyone had any similar experiences?

 

Thanks,

Dirso.

 

P.S.: If anyone knows a paper about the performance discussion, I would be
glad to read.
