CSCS Native Scripting

About: CSCS Native Scripting

CSCS (Customized Scripting in C#) can now be used for native mobile development.

This App contains a CSCS interpreter that you can use to play around with CSCS. There are also a few pre-set examples.

You can create any CSCS scripting code in one tab, "Create", and then see the results in another tab, "Run".

How to use CSCS for mobile development is described at:

This App itself was produced in CSCS. Here is the complete CSCS code:
