Hi, I certainly hope so. Coming up with a cross-platform standard is difficult. Things like object serialization, AKA saving games, etc has to be done in a way that works on multiple platforms. As there is no standard way of handling serialization in C++ you end up having to use something like the Boost API to handle that on the backend and hope to get a uniform standard to work with. Diddo for things like multithreading which is necessary for high speed game performance. Again no universal standard between platforms requiring some sort of middleware like Boost to try and implement universal multithreading that works on Mac, Linux, and Windos equally. In a way this is were Mono, AKA .NET, would shine as most of the stuff like threading, serialization, etc is already designed and added to the framework/API offering a single uniform standard for .NET developers cross multiple platforms. However, as I've already rewritten he engine in C++ I'm not at aall sure I'd want to go back to .NET.
