80%+ C# though.
Welp
I can't help
C# is super easy though. If you've done C++ it's about 100x easier than C++ game programming, or really any traditional game programming.
Unity3D is even more complicated than Gadot from an engine standpoint using C#.
But Gadot is truly open source, and I understand why they used it.
Do you mean "godot" instead of "gadot" or is gadot a C# library?
C# is mainly windows though, even though .NET core is not OSS.
And what if they require the whole .NET framework. That makes it a Proton only game. No Linux builds.
Makes the OSS kinda useless to me, unless I want to rewrite it
10 years ago you'd have been correct, but a lot changes in a decade, and a lot of your understanding is currently no longer accurate.
Additional reading for the roadmap from the Gadot team.
They're using Mono with a plan to move to .NET 5 (the merger version between .NET Core and .NET Framework) and then on to .NET 6+.
In the meantime, Mono is fully cross platform and has no dependencies on windows components. The Mono team became the .NET Core team at Microsoft.
ooo
outdated indeed
Guess I should learn some C#
It's a ton of fun. ๐ I mean that. It makes programming fun vs C++. I think you'll really enjoy it is that's where you're coming from.
It's also, stylistically, much cleaner and slicker than Java
IDK man, I do C++ nowadays and sometimes I miss C.
Yikes
