Any good high-level game networking libs for .NET ?
|
I'm looking for the equivalent of TNL but for .NET. I know about Lidgren and such, but I'm after something higher-level. So before I go reinvent the wheel I wanted to ask if some of you know of any decent game networking library written for .NET / C#... |

At the moment, Ive got a flock simulation displayings over 500 sharks using instancing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnUXoy5gpe8 for an early-version video). The models of the sharks themselves are static (ie: not keyframe-animated nor skeleton-ani... |

what language has least bugs in code?
|
C# is probably the most programmer friendly language I'd use for gameplay programming. Other than that, it seems that your problem has more to do with code habits/design/bad practices. I code in C++ all day and hardly ever have unexpected runtime err... |

Embedded web browsers

Yeah I've done the same, and had to do some hacking to remap the mouse inputs to the offscreen window through window messages. Gecko seems to be a lot more "embedding friendly" as it provides facilities to render web pages to a user-provided buffer i... |

Camera system for third person shooter

Yeah I also use quaternions in my C++ and C# engines but Quake 3 doesn't have built-in support for quaternions and is written in C so I didn't bother adding support for them yet as this is just a prototype to spot unforseen issues beforehand such as... |

Realistic water scene rendering with Direct3D9

Well that's precisely why :) I've had to put a rather short maximum view distance because the water simulation is CPU-based and the water mesh is highly tesselated. Increasing this view distance decreases the performances. I'm sure there are better w... |

free MMOs ???

The big idea is to lure players in with a major emphasis on the word "free", but once you start playing it seriously you realize that you really do need their premium service offer to stay on par with other players. These premium items... |

Scripting Engine

Why reinvent the wheel? I suggest you use LUA or Python as a scripting language for your game, they're industry-proven, tested, and will save you a considerable amount of time. |
