Is there a game like Roblox...?
Hey there,
Anyone know a game like Roblox where you use
C++ for building?(Roblox uses Lua.)
Thank you.

Every couple of months we come up with an idea to make something like that here. But for various reasons they never seem to gain enough traction to make it beyond the planning phase.
There is also the technical problem of C++ being a compiled language. This raises two questions:
1.): How do you go about using the code that the player wrote in the game? The obvious answer here seems to be to import that code in the form of an .so\.dll, in which case have fun sand-boxing a language that allows DMA. So you either make a game that exists as a gaping security hole, spend 90 percent of your development time essentially writing a VM or you create something that interprets C++ as if it were a scripting language.
2.): Platform compatibility, or in other words, how do you ensure that everybody who plays this game can use one and others code in a consistent manner? Writing platform agnostic code can get complicated especially when you might want to do something like using a system timer for an event or broadcast a message when another player connects or dies. You could agree to use a certain library but then you're tying your project in with one that you have little to no control over. Ideally the game would have it's own API to interact with whatever platform it is running on, but then that one subset of the project would practically require a team of it's own to upkeep.
