J#?

by Okashira · in General Discussion · 12/08/2006 (12:35 pm) · 2 replies

Have you guys ever heard of, or worked with, Visual J#? I am in the process of downloading Visual Studio J# Express Edition to check it out, but I guess it is supposed to be like a Java on the .NET Framework.

So has anybody here worked with it? Does is have good possibilities for game dev? Would just uses Java be a better choice?

Thanks,
Okashira

C# would probably be a better bet. It's much more popular than MS's J# and will be used with XNA Studio express and Torque X.

J# is C# with slight changes to make it more comfortable for Java coders. But it's exactly the same thing. Does the same thing the same way with the same performance.

I agree with Dan about using C# since it's much more popular and works with XNA and TorqueX. But either way, if you can use java or J# you can easily use C#. They are so much alike.
