DooM# - Blasting demons using C# without the unsafe keyword
I ported the game DooM from C to C#. Having to deal with strange file types, alternative ways of (re)allocating memory, data structures being passed around as void* pointers and the likes, it's tempting to use unsafe code in C#. Turns out, that's not needed!
Let's look at how C translates to C#, and how C# adds safeguards to avoid shooting yourself in the foot. Or learn how taking on a crazy project like this can make you a better developer.
