question about programming with leadwerks engine

[Guest Saulius]

Hello,

 

Can I program with leadwerks engine with "c++ .net" or "F#"

now or later ?

[Road Kill Kenny]

C++ Yes now and later... don't know about the other two

[Xaron]

Wow never thought about to use a functional language to create a game...

[Guest Saulius]

C++ Yes now and later... don't know about the other two

 

but it is c++ .net ?

 

Edit: oh, it is not c++ .net

[Pixel Perfect]

There really is no such thing as C++ .Net. .Net is a framework whilst C++ is a language. You need to use /CLI with C++ to work with .Net I'm not sure that .Net is really aimed at game making, why not use straight C++?

It is with with XNA.

 

 

@OP You can use C# currently with LE.

Edit: I'll stick with c++ for now

I'm currently learning c++(I know about c++ pretty much now), is c# really much daunting to learn for me then?

[AggrorJorn]

I find C# a lot easier to learn than C++. The experience I have so far is that developing with C++ is slower whilst with C# I have results a lot faster.

What about Lua? Compared with C++ it's a piece of cake.

[Road Kill Kenny]

The easiest choice isn't always the best option.....

[AggrorJorn]

Thats true Scarlet. I would recommend using C++ but finding C# easier. Als using Lua in your game can be very usefull.

[Xaron]

If you want to go mobile, it is.

For Leadwerks 3 it depends on what kind of game. If there's a lot of game interactions that vary from level to level, use Lua. If you are building a game with a big architecture and a lot of special systems, use C++. If you are making a simple game, use either.

 

Lua in Leadwerks 3 is fast, it has good tools, and the implementation is quite capable, so you don't have a disadvantage over C++ for most things.

I'm sorry I posted in the wrong place - I'm just learning to program and thought that game programming with leadwerks engine is for me.

this last LE3 can support vc# .net ?

[Josh]

We are moving the project over to visual studio 2010 from 2008.

 

We are going to focus on native code development, so we will support C++ at launch, as well as Lua script.

[cassius]

Will Blitzmax be usable with le3?

[Josh]

Yes.

Can you give me a more detailed explanation ?

For a strategic game or an RTS or in general for games where A.I. plays an important role

what would you suggest LUA or C++ ?

 

Thanks in advance

[Canardia]

I would suggest SuperBasic, it's like BASIC but even more simple, and it can use any C++ source code direcltly too. So far it's only VaporWare, but I hope to get it released soon, especially with the launch on LE3.

Besides my biased opinion that C++ is better in almost every way.... It doesn't really matter what you use.
