While nothing stops this from working on all platforms, the project, as well as the Developer Experience around it, has only been tested on Windows.

This project consists of three parts:

• T3DSharpFramework
• T3DSharpGenerator
• T3DSharpGame

The framework is a library of basic functionality and definitions necessary to interop with Torque3D nicely.

The generator generates the class library by analysing the EngineAPI XML Export that Torque3D can produce.

The game is a small C# application that initializes Torque3D and implements a C# version of main.tscript.

This is an experimental package, what that means is that it should work fine but it hasn't really been used much and you might find edge-cases, odd behaviours and what-not. Memory-leaks is especially a thing to look out for.

Furthermore, based on feedback, this project might be taken in different directions. Main things being considered right now is:

• Right now T3DSharpGame is a mono-dll for all game-logic. Should we be able to support more DLLs, like one per module.
• We could consider using a C# Scripting (.csx) based approach instead, so that we can reload individual files and use whatever Torque3D implements for re-executing script files by implementing the exec functionality based on file extensions.

Simply place this folder inside your game/data folder of your project, as if it was a module. Then run CMake configure with TORQUE_ENTRY_FUNCTION set to CSharpEntryFunction.

CMake will generate necessary templates to inject the project name and relevant paths in, then it will find all *.cs files and add them to the VS Solution.

• Ground work needs to be done for this to work in Linux/Mac (mostly CMake configuration)
• Visual Studio supports debugging C++ and C# simultaneously, but other IDE's may not have that capability. (For example Rider doesn't support hosted .NET Code)
  • VS Code should be an option on Linux/Mac
• Building .NET applications produces a lot of clutter in the game folder that is yet to be cleaned up
• The project has not implemented "release" workflows yet, so for example building without hot-reload capability is not a priority right now

Currently, you can hot-reload code by running ReloadT3DSharpGame() in the console.

See the wiki for examples of how to write code using this setup.
