C++ help zune games

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, i couldn't tell where this should go. i am learning c++ and was wondering if there was a way to release things for zune on c++. C++ i think might be easier anyway. mods please move to correct place. i have no idea where this should go.

from my knowledge you cant, it must be C#.

But sim or ledzep. would know for sure.

Only C#, and it is easier than making games with C++.

No, theres no software that can convert from c++ to c#, you will have to learn c# or forget about making games

C++ and C# are two very different beasts. The syntax is similar, but no software would be able to efficiently translate between the two of them. They just have too many fundamental differences in how they work (memory management, variable scope, etc) that it would be near impossible to have a piece of software be able to do it for you.

I agree with the above. Just learn C# instead of C++. A nice free tutorial is found here: C# Station: C# Tutorial - Introduction. After that you might want to seek out other websites or maybe a little book (since that website is more a brief tutorial).
