Hi Quentin, I've worked with JNI before on prior projects, but I don't think I want to convert my games to Java. What I am likely to do myself is upgrade the .Net version of my engine because its a lot easier to work with than the current C++ version of the engine. Its very object oriented like Java, is cross-platform using Mono, and I can access DirectX via SlimDX. Plus I've already got a working engine. It just needs to be updated to .Net 4.0 and have Managed DirectX replaced using SlimDX instead.
However, I hear you about C. Its not that object oriented, and working in C++ is difficult for large projects. I know I am getting fairly annoyed with handling string conversions etc as it is 10 times more difficult than it needs to be. In C# .Net if I want to convert an integer variable to a string just do number.ToString() and it is done. In C I have to use a function like itoa() to convert an integer variable to a character string. Then, if I want to pass it off to SAPI or Jaws I have to convert that from a char to to wchar which is enough to drive anyone up the wall. Not to mention strcmp() for comparing strings, strcpy() for copying one string to another, and several other helper functions that are easier in .Net. So its things like that I want to avoid in future projects myself. Cheers!
