Designing Casanova: A Language for Games

چکیده
Games are complex pieces of software which give life to animated virtual worlds. Game developers carefully search the difficult balance between quality and efficiency in their games.

We will show how to rewrite an official sample of the XNA framework, resulting in a smaller source and a higher performance.
