Welcome back to another post on building a C# scripting engine. Today, we’ll look at how we can avoid bundling the 200+ .NET Runtime DLLs with our application. Instead, we will load the DLLs that the user may have already installed on their own system. This is the last in Read more…
Hi all, in today’s post, we’re going to talk about debugging techniques to help the developers leveraging your .NET scripting engine to debug their scripts. We’ll also take a quick look at how you can detect unused references which is a common source of problems in implementing hot reloading. This Read more…
Hi everyone! Today we’ll be starting on one of the most exciting topics in the tutorial: Hot reloading! With hot reloading, you will be able to allow users of your engine to modify, recompile and reload their C# scripts independently of the engine’s source code. This is very important as Read more…
Hi all, today we’re gonna work on properly handling errors in our managed code. Right now, if we run into an exception in our managed code, our application will crash as we are not catching the exceptions. This is especially important as your scripting engine will run user-created scripts. Ideally, Read more…
Welcome back! I’ve been quite busy with school and life so apologies for the long wait. In the previous blog post, we had successfully gotten a C# script to run while attached to a entity in our native code. Now, we will attempt to let our C# script access and Read more…
In the previous blog post, we managed to host the .NET Runtime and successfully executed managed code from native code and vice versa. However, C# was not involved at all. In this post, we will build up the infrastructure for C# scripts and execute our first C# script. This is Read more…
Right off the heels of the previous post, let’s actually start hosting the .NET runtime and executing managed code in our C++ code base. This is the third in a series of posts on building a .NET 6.0-based C# scripting engine for a game engine. If you’ve not yet read Read more…
Welcome to the second in a series of blog posts detailing how to integrate .NET 6.0 C# scripting support into a C++ Windows game engine. If you haven’t already, do read the first part which provides an introduction to what we will be doing as part of this series. Edit Read more…
Recently, I had to use ImGui to produce a “tree-style” UI as part of my assignment. As things are with ImGui, the documentation leaves a lot to be desired and I wasn’t able to easily figure out how it works. So I did some research and after trawling through a Read more…
Welcome to the first in a series of blog posts detailing how to integrate .NET 6.0 C# scripting support into a C++ Windows game engine. Most of what I am going to detail is based on my research and work in developing a C# scripting engine for my DigiPen game Read more…
