from the website: Unity supports three scripting languages: JavaScript, C#, and a dialect of Python called Boo. I'm sure more than 1% has it installed by now, I've seen more unity content than silverlight content and unity is a bit older and I've read silverlight is at about 60% in some countries, so my guess is that Unity may be around the same numbers.
Anway.. I think those stats shouldn't be too important, I believe if the app appeals enough(people see screenshots, vids of it), installation of unity (which is the most painless plugin installation in my view) follows. @Karl: No, Unity cannot be ported to Flash.. That would've made a good april's fools joke tho ;). ps. the Unity tutorials are pretty good on their website, just download the free version and dig in :). cheers, Meinte On Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 1:24 PM, David Hunter <[email protected]>wrote: > I actually went to a unity meetup and demo the other week to check it out. > Very impressive, the quality is excellent and you can deliver across many > platforms easily (browser, desktop app, wii, iPhone).
