Why PowerShell?

Why is a good question to ask. Why use PowerShell for game development?

The only answer I have is: Why not.

I spend every day of my working life buried neck deep in PowerShell, so it is the language I am most comfortable using. I have experience using it for things it really shouldn't be used for (PowerShell wrapping a C# interface to .Net calling Unmanaged system drivers for example). Mainly, PowerShell is not well understood for its more complex tasks. In theory, anything that .Net can do, PowerShell can do, and I'd like to explore the limits of what I can achieve with this peculiar toolset.

My ambitions extend to DirectX integration using PowerShell... Simply because I think I can. In the process I hope to build client/server networking system, all within this shell scripting language.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Cheers, Chris.
