What Programming Language was used to make Dyson?
« on: April 08, 2009, 07:29:56 AM »
Hi all, I was just wondering what programming language Dyson was developed with. I'm a student and I am kind of having a hard time figuring out what programming language to pursue, Dyson is exactly the kind of program I want to make (using graphics and transparency) stuff like that. I was first thinking it was made with Java but I really have no idea. Any help would be great so I can get back on track. By the way great game, keep it up I love playing it. :)

Visual C# from Microsoft (free):

That's the foundation. The pretty stuff is handled by XNA Studio (also free):

Far as I know...

No XNA here, it was all ported over from that to OpenGL, and SDL.NET. We didn't want the hassle of distributing XNA games on the PC as it's a nightmare. This way we can bundle the DLLs and all the user needs to install is .net 2.0.

No worries :D

Yes it's written in C#. If you want to work in the mainstream industry on consoles and such, you must study C++. For PC games, you can use C#, but the majority of big PC games are probably still written in C++. Java is good these days but it seems to be falling out of favour to become a minority language - that's a shame because there's nothing really wrong with it.

Using it would have solved the problems with Mac and Linux.
