I have written both 2d and 3d game engines and am looking into making editors. I want them to run on Windows and am wondering what the best way to go about doing this is. If I can, I would like to write them in C++ as that is my strongest language but I have heard that C# is quite a fantastic language for editors/window type applications.

Any advice?

Thanks!

A bit of a broad question to be honest, what do you want your editor to do? as you have gone to the effort of making a game "engine" why spend time working in different applications, why not extend your engine to provide editor fucntionality? – Stowelly Nov 1 '11 at 14:30

This isn't an advice site. Can you please reword your question to be more specific and direct? I hesitate to close it because it may have a place here. – Ricket♦ Nov 1 '11 at 14:32
One of the biggest issues with tool construction is interoperability with your game code, so I would suggest asking the question "how I can most effectively have my editor and game interact?" or some such. – Josh Petrie Nov 1 '11 at 15:12
Way too broad. Also "best way" is subjective without some concrete requirements. – Tetrad♦ Nov 1 '11 at 15:48
