@icedquinn @djsumdog @lanodan @hj The engine is also a mountain of duct tape on top of an old codebase. It's really showing it's age like having game speed being tied to the FPS.

I often hear people say that it's the GameBryo of indie game engines.

@djsumdog @lanodan @hj GTK# is still the go to library for writing GUIs in C# on other platforms, and is probably going to stay that way unless Microsoft ports Windows Forms to macOS, Linux, and *BSD.

@djsumdog @icedquinn @lanodan @hj I think GameMaker before it was GameMaker: Studio would cross-compile their games into Delphi. But now, they apparently compile to C# (haven't looked into it any further).

>I'm not even sure if Gtk# works with .NET Core.

It does. Mono is pretty much obsolete now.

@hj @lanodan C# has plain data structs, an exponential operator, a static class to work with stdin as opposed to manually declaring a scanner object, actual pointers, operator overloading, and unions. Java has none of those.

There is a good reason why indie game developers went from Java to C# and it's not just the XNA framework.

@hj @lanodan Not when it has shitty quirks like requiring methods to access characters in a string and missing basic shit like an exponential operator.

C# is what everything Java should have been. It's one of the few times Microsoft did something right.

@Moon Who would want to watch people haggling on TV?

@lanodan @hj Java is a fucking pain. I don't know why my uni adopted it as it's primary language.

@ArdanianRight Physically removal drug addicts from your covenant. Problem solved.

@ArdanianRight If they overdose on drugs, that's on them. No one else should be responsible for someones dumb decisions.

@tengumatingpress The less you know, the better. E-drama is not worth your time.
