Hi Ken,
Sure, I can understand that, and as I was just saying in my prior post
that is exactly one of the major advantages of Evolution over BGT.
Since it is a dynamic library it can be designed in such a way to work
with all kinds of programming languages including VB .NET giving
someone like you that option where BGT forces you to learn its
C-type syntax and structure. I can easily create a managed .NET
library that contains all the functionality of my C++ engine and in
fact could simplify the development process for myself in the process.
For example, imagine a VB .NET app like this.
import Evolution3D
Public Class Hello
Public Sub Main()
'Declare a speech object
speech As Speech
'Initialize the Sapi speech system
speech.InitializeSpeech(0, 50, 100)
'Speak a message
speech.SpeechWait("Hello world!")
'Kill the speech service
speech.KillSpeech()
End Sub
End Class
The beauty of doing it this way is that new VB .NET developers like
yourself could have access to Microsoft Sapi, DirectX, and other APIs
and components without having to learn that stuff and still be writing
games in Visual Basic rather than Angelscript, C++,or C#. Plus since
it is a managed library someone like myself can i mport the same
engine into a C# .NET project and use it with the same advantages. So
the more I think about this the more I think it is a good idea long
term.
Cheers!
