I disagree. There are many books on programming in PowerShell and you can call into any .NET library from it, so you can certainly write games.

I probably write a few lines every day.
- thwarted 7y agoI didn't say you couldn't write games using PowerShell. I said there doesn't seem to be books or docs or blogs about using PowerShell for games, or for really anything other than system automation and system utilities. I'm sure it's possible to write Eliza or a pong game in PowerShell. These are the kinds of things that introduced kids to programming, and without an easily accessible, included language with the mindshare that they are appropriate for entertainment purposes, less experienced but curious people will gravitate away from it.
