Can I Use C# Easily?

#1 Yes, you'd have to write your own script bridge to implement it.

#2 Script bridge? Sorry. I'm not familiar with the term.

Do you mean I'd have to wrap everything like in P/Invoke?

e.g.:

http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/shell32.ShellExecute

[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr ShellExecute(
IntPtr hwnd,
string lpOperation,
string lpFile,
string lpParameters,
string lpDirectory,
ShowCommands nShowCmd);

Like that?

Are you saying that there is no existing wrapper for .NET?

Sounds to me that you might be better off with Torque X. It's based on XNA, is already written in C#, has a 2D editor, and 2D rendering features.

Creating a C# integration for TGB would be a bit of work. It has been done for various Torques in various ways.

#4 I mean you would need to rewrite the existing files involving script loading and functions. Or hook in another language somehow, if you want to keep the basic TS around.

#5 This is scary:

Does anyone have any sort of inkling about the likelihood of it making it to 4.0? Just roughly -- like snowball's hope in hell, or it's a good bet?

I wouldn't expect it from GG as they are moonlighting the project. Not sure where the community efforts are on that. Also not quite sure on the amount of work involved--never worked with XNA 3.5 and don't know how big a delta that is.

Looks like it's game over. :) or rather :(

Thanks for the responses.
