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.

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

C# runs cross platform. Unity3D with C# runs cross platform and Gadot as cross platform.
.NET 6+ (and 8.X is current) is fully compatible with Linux.
Nobody's depending on .NET framework <4.X anymore. Nobody. That's the version of .NET you're thinking of that's locked into windows. Anything built with .NET Core, or .NET 6 or higher is fully cross platform.

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.

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outdated indeed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. 🙂 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.
