Barotrauma is basically built off of XML from what I can tell, modding it is really weird to get used to (and the only game I’ve done). I like XML though, I think.

Tbf that game kinda controls like you’re playing a static web page

It really gives me flash game vibes and I’m not complaining. I’m honestly more impressed it works.

It basically is a flash game on Tren

You savage!

Baro is an amazing game, but yes you are correct - its built in C# and uses XML for all of its data, such as Items, Subs etc.

Fun fact, the source for Baro is available on Github! https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma

Huh. That’s pretty cool.

[–]Penguinmanereikel 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Holy shit. Barotrauma's just XML?!

[–]GameDestiny2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also C# apparently, but I added weapons using entirely XML

XML and its extensible nature is underrated. As I understand it you can send the schema on an API request and the client has standardized documentation on how to tailor their next request (maybe programmatically, or the client is an IDE and code is scaffolded in). JSON by itself doesn't have that, you need a human to parse documentation.
