Understanding classes/methods/namespaces

[itsbth]

[QUOTE=Darwin226;24438927]I don't know.

Btw, if there any reason why someone would do

public int Somethnig {

get {

return something;
}
set {

something=value;
}
}

?

Wouldn't it be easier to just set something as public?
I mean, I know what getters and setters are used for generally, but do they make sense in that example?[/QUOTE]

It might make sense for compatibility reasons. Let's say we have an application A, which have a plugin interface, and exposes class Foo, with the public field Bar. Plugin B uses Foo.Bar. Then, the creators of A decides that they have to do some validation on Foo.Bar, and converts it a property. This breaks plugin B, as accessing fields and properties, despite having identical syntax, is not the same. If Foo.Bar had been a property from the start, this wouldn't have been an issue.

While we are on the subject. If you have a struct point for example. And have a class Player with Point position.

Point has X and Y. If you make position a property you can't do Position.X++; right?
How do you fix that?

You meant that even primitive data-type [B]derive[/B] from base-classes. Objects are not classes. A class is a blueprint for an object.

Thread is now a C# question and answer party.

My question: What are some specific well-known games that are developed with C#?

After just reading what these guys have said my guess is you have a function that adds to X so

public void Xplus{
X++
}

then you call it with say

Possition.Xplus

This thread is the best of the Programming section since a while :3:

If Position is the property, it only needs to be a readable property for that to work. If X is the property, then it needs to be both readable and writable. But yeah, that works fine.

Properties are not methods, you shouldn't mix them up. (that code is illegal in more than one way, too)

There is this game that was called Dyson, I forgot how it's named now.
I've also seen a Quake-port to C# with Silverlight.

I don't see the importance though. You might not be able to code the next CrySis in C# and expect the same framerate and memory-usage, but it will work well for every hobby-project I can imagine.
C# is also a perfectly fine language if you wanna try out something else later.

If you're not aiming to write a huge revolutionary game, you do not really need the extra performance of unmanaged code. (although I guess this is subjective, maybe it isn't true for everyone?)

Well I know I'm not going to end up making the next cryengine I just want to know what this language can do. If I do start developing good games, I want to know what I can expect to be making. I just plan on making 2D maybe simple 3D games as of now.

If you have a 360 its easy to see what its capable of
just check out the indie section

Well it's too bad I don't have an Xbox v:v:v
