Quake II .NET
Just received an email from Scott Stanfield (Vertigo):
Have some fun today! Check out Quake II
.NET, a version of Quake II that we ported to Managed
C++.
If you have customers with a large body of C code thinking about
jumping into .NET, this may be a way. Consider these points:
- Porting 125k lines of C to Managed C++ took about 3 days.
- The performance delta between native and managed is almost
negligible (15%)
- We added a significant enhancement (heads-up radar) in another week,
all in C++ (but it could have been VB.NET or C#)
There s a demo script that shows you how to compare the native vs.
managed performance.
This beast simply rocks! Wahoo - give it a try ... although I am not a
gamer.
