faboon 3 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 I know this isn't to do with html5 development but I'm not sure where to start this topic. Has anyone tried to port Phaser to C# so they can make desktop games? I saw a post about Retyped but that looks like it's designed to compile back to javascript. It would be interesting to see if there is a port already as I'm not having much luck with MonoGame on Linux and I'm so comftable with Phaser. Are there any reasons why it would not be a good idea. Obviously it would need to use different libraries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would the performance not be better with native c# though? And it could potential be compiled to other platforms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsichiX 32 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Performance would be the same as in your browser, and again - phaser game can already run on mamy platforms. still not much benefit from c# port Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything else (i.e. console) would be out of reach anyway, even if it was C#. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that would be quite a performance boost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you could just compile C++/C# to any console. And I thought C# would run faster. Cheers for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
