I don't know what C# is exactly.

Can it be used to make games on GBA and DS?

Here is information about C#:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp

It's not especially appropriate for GBA or DS, but if you find a working implementation for those platforms, more power to ya. ;)

It will never happen.

#91134 - sajiimori - Tue Jul 04, 2006 8:21 pm

Pure speculation.

What, with it never happening? Yes, well someone could create an implementation for c#, and we do have the lua runtime, but don't hold your breath for it.

"Qs Moka" is a Java to C translator which targets the TI89. This means you can write Java programs, then compile them for a TI89. From the screenshots, it looks like it even has GUI APIs.

If a TI89 can run Java, I don't see why a GBA couldn't as well.

It was probably Java Micro Edition, the subset used for MIDlets (mobile phone games). Will most C# programmers be happy with the corresponding .NET Compact Framework?

Want to try porting the framework now? Go get Mono.
