This is a big release for mono, I'm huge fan of the project. C# is actually being designed unlike java, and with each new revision is getting much better.
Isn't it compatible with the Microsoft variants? I mean, isn't that the point? Shouldn't you be able to build on Microsoft tools and then compile on Mono for other platforms? Or am I completely missing the boat?
I've been using Mono for about 3 years now, and I must say C# is great. Mono has gone a long way, and it is pretty solid now. I really love the fact that I can use the same language, and same libraries, for Desktop Applications, command line tools, and to create a web site. The option to be able to create standalone program (no need to have the Mono libraries installed on the client) is also a great plus.
Has anyone built any cross-platform games with Mono? I'm working on a little hobby project that I'd like to release in an installable version for Windows and Mac OS X, and I'm not really sure where to start. I've been so deeply rooted in the UNIX world for so long that I don't even have a guess about good solutions to Windows/Mac desktop application problems.
