[U-SPAM] Re: [Mono-devel-list] Limit Garbage Collection

[Andreas Nahr]

Arena Wars is a realtime strategy/shooter combination. Was released sometime 2004 I think.
There should also be some Age of Empire Clone that is supposed to be entirely managed code, but I can't remember the name, and I'm not sure it is released yet.
Of non-games a cool one might be World Wind from NASA, which is a 3D-Globe of the earth (open source). It is streaming the textures at runtime in the background from the web (and in that respect works much better than the google app)

    As long as you don't do any "stupid" things a gen0 garbage collection is far
    faster than what you need for a game (MUCH shorter than 20ms)
    In fact there are at least two commercial games out there that are based on
    .net and none of them has issues getting 100++ fps.
    Also tons of 3d apps exist and none of them have any perf-issues related to
    GCing, so dont worry about the GC.

    Greets
