Purple pure C# code

Posted by: James at Dec 7, 2004

C# is the best of the scripts. If we compare Purple# and Axiom we notice that Axiom is written with c++ stile(OGRE) but Purple# is pure c# style.
Purple# is becoming a full game engine (networking will ready for v0.6). In a short time it will be a standard for c#/directX programming. Good performance.

Good potential

Posted by: uggibuggi at Jul 4, 2005

If you're lokking for a .NET open source engine, this is the only one that offers good features, and is still under Developement.
Axiom offers also some good features, but is a Ogre-port - a C++ engine.

Support is okay, they really try to help you, you don't get this everywhere...

So, all in all: A good engine, and it will become much better in the next releases!

Excelent

Purple is a great engine, easy to use, easy to expand(Plug ins)
Its still needs to add certain features, like collision, everything else is great
As a proof games can be developed with this engine, theres Punch & Crunch, programmed by the author of this engine
