As we’re on Tower Defense games in flash and silverlight doug-swisher.net, In earlier days, the most popular form of video games was computer games. Initially, computer games were essentially computer-controlled. Players would interact with the device to achieve predetermined targets and goals. Video games too are a form of computer games wherein a video display with interactive and vibrant visuals is the main focus. The display itself is designed to provide a player with feedback as the game continues.

Speaking as one of the architects of BioJava I would say I agree and don’t agree.

Generating bytecode on the fly can be very good if you do it right and a major headache if you don’t.

The primary reason to use it and not reflection is that bytecode generation is super fast and reflection is ungodly slow.

The main reason not to use it is very few people understand it.

Nice example of social engineering (?). They probably use it with some genetic algorightms & neural nets …

Hi Doug,

I just wanted to say thanks for mentioning my game (Mountain Pass TD).

It is the first game I have ever completed and “released” (though many have been “started”), and the first application I have written in Silverlight.

Let me know if you have any questions about making a Silverlight game (and specifically a tower defense one). You already know C# it seems, so you are in good shape!

Generating byte code on the fly is VERY BAD and it IS bad code for several reasons. Why on earth would they want to generate byte code?

Couldn’t they just have used something more comprehensible and better maintainable like reflection? There must be a better way of doing this…
