Now 2 months on and I've still not really started on the game.
Due to other commitments I've not been able to work full time on this project.
Hence there's still probably 6 months work to do.
At the moment Microsoft is moving focus from .Net 4.x to .Net Core which is now version 2.2.
Version 3.0 is imminent and will support WPF, which is what this suite is written in.
WPF is, and will be, Windows only.
You might wonder why we'd want to move to .net core 3.0.
2 reasons:
It runs faster. At least it does for web sites, I've not been able to do any desktop development using it yet.
Longevity. We want these games to have as long a life as possible and the latest framework will be in support longer.
Hello, don't mean to hijack thread and we can move to private messaging or other means if more applicable. I do development myself and was curious about .Net core vs framework so was hoping you could give me your perspective on it.
1) I believe the first public beta was just released....do you have any idea when final release is planned?
2) You mentioned Microsoft was moving their focus from framework to core....I hadn't heard that and thought they would largely be side by side with standard sharing best of both worlds. Do you have an article somewhere that says Microsoft plans to more support core in the future? Is frameworks going away?
3) You mentioned core would be faster....any more context there? Is it just faster computing numbers or will it be faster in drawing forms, graphics, etc. ? Always hoped windows forms would be more efficiently displayed on the screen.
4) Any other benefits of core for desktop applications?
Appreciate any info you might have.
