Unity
rickatech, 2019-06

Unity is a computer game engine and development environment.  It was initially built for use on and with Microsoft Windows, and heavily relies on Microsoft's .Net scripting framework.  As of at least 2019, Unity has been ported to Linux and MacOS environment, and .Net supporting libraries are included.

Code excerpt for the classic UFO tutorial.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

    //  Holy crap, the YouTube video has a typo in it

    //  Also, Unity may need a Project Setting tweaked

    private Rigidbody2D rb2d;  //  Note the spelling/case

    void Start ()
    {
        rb2d = GetComponent ();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector2 movement = new Vector2(moveHorizontal, moveVertical);
        rb2d.AddForce (movement);
    }

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    //  void Start() {}

    // Update is called once per frame
    //  void Update() { }
