Packaging .NET programs into self-contained applications creates a huge fucking mess.

@RabbiChaimNosenberg I'm on Linux. I program games in C#, but I am a Linux user.

@RabbiChaimNosenberg Never heard of it. I do know some C and C++. I even tried C++ with SFML once but I gave up on it.

Yes. Do it anyway. You cannot be a good code monke without understanding space and time complexities and tradeoffs.

@RabbiChaimNosenberg I'll consider it. I was planning on doing a dungeon crawler after I publish this vertical shmup. I don't know if I can do it if I switch languages though.

@RabbiChaimNosenberg Okay. I just ordered an SFML Game Programming Book online. I already know the basic and intermediate concepts of game programming, so switching probably isn't going to be that hard. I already did that once (Python to C#).

@xianc78 @RabbiChaimNosenberg memory management is not so bad once you get over the hump. It just takes a bit of practice and the lessons are more hard-learned than a lot of other programming lessons
