    Hey, this is a question for the Unity3D forum regulars as well as the Unity3D Staff.

    Will the Linux distribution option for Unity3D 4.0 support C# or just unity script?

    I would imagine it will support all three languages. The code doesn't stay C#/JS/Boo, it gets compiled to CIL.

    It will support all the languages we currently support (C#, JS, Boo).

    Come on, we made C# scripts work on Flash; making them work on Linux is certainly much, much easier ;)

    What about Ruby? As i'm a nice person, i make it easier for you too, it doesn't need to 'work' on Flash.

    C# has always been supported on Linux since the Mono project came out :) I've used Linux for 3+ years and have done some C# programming on it.

    Compile it into a managed dll, if you can, and place in your assets folder.
