C#

What is C#?

C# in Godot Engine is a programming language option for creating games and apps. It offers better performance, access to .NET libraries, and typical C# features like properties and async programming. To use it, install Godot Mono and .NET SDK with an IDE like Visual Studio.

C# Features

1. Full OOP set. C# provides all the tools needed for Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), including interfaces, abstract classes, and inheritance. GDScript, used in Godot Engine, lacks interfaces however allows similar functionality through abstract base classes and inheritance. Abstraction is the foundation of object-oriented programming.

2. LINQ (Language Integrated Query): Enables querying collections in a readable, concise manner, seamlessly integrating with C# syntax.

3. Asynchronous Programming: async and await keywords allow for easy and efficient asynchronous operations, improving app responsiveness.

4. Delegates and Events: Provide a flexible way to define callbacks and event handling.

5. Generics: Allow for type-safe data structures without the need for type conversions or casting.

6. Properties and Indexers: Simplify the encapsulation of data and provide controlled access to object data.

7. Reflection and Metadata: Enable inspection and modification of code at runtime.

8. Pattern Matching: Enhances control flow and data manipulation with more expressive conditions.
