Xamarin implements C# and F# support in UE4

Here: http://mono-ue.github.io
So looks like Xamarin has grabbed the publicly available UE4 source and implemented C# and F# support in UE4. Pretty awesome, even has hot reload and debugging.



Here is some code:

Code (CSharp):

1. protected override void ReceiveTick(float DeltaSeconds)
2. {
3.     float yawDelta = RotationRate * DeltaSeconds;
4.     if (!RotateClockwise)
5.         yawDelta *= -1;
6.  
7.     Rotator rotation = ActorRotation;
8.     rotation.Yaw += yawDelta;
9.  
10.     var forwardVec = ActorForwardVector;
11.     var location = ActorLocation;
12.     location += DeltaSeconds * Velocity * forwardVec;
13.  
14.     SetActorLocationAndRotation(ref location, rotation, true);
15. }

Just glanced at the getting started here: http://mono-ue.github.io/getting-started.html . Pretty cool.

This looks like a move to ease the transition of Unity devs to Unreal. Smart move as it will likely get a lot of people to try it, and even move over.

It wasn't done by Epic though. It's an interesting move by Xamarin, akin to their move to try and take on iOS and Android developement. The installation actually involves doing an automated patch of the UE4 source code and then doing a compile! Wow, that is nuts.

 

sad that they dont work with unity technologies better to improve things in unity and instead do this... and to add insult to injury for free...

 

its not free:

 

oh ok thanks... missed it i guess since i didnt see any pricing.

you mean like starter for free (although limited) and indie for$25/m, ... that pricing... if not how much then?
