Then... you can break a game in 2 sides: engine and game-logic. 3D FPS
opengl games like Quake and other work with a VM ( the QuakeC virtual
machine ) for eons with good results. Projects on sourceforge design server
side engines with python and c. This project is called QuakeWorldPython or
something similar.  Whe suggest writting the engine in C, or something
loved, then doing the game-logic in mono, then releasing the game logic as
opensource like Id do with the quake series :D
Others apps (unknom for me) can benefit this architecture
