  • How to add graphics
    4 projects | /r/csharp | 9 Jan 2023
    Glad I could help! Just one more disambiguation -- it's not built in. raylib is created by Ray/raysan5,and the C# bindings are created primarily by Chris Dill. Dill has packaged the bindings as a NuGet package, which you can add using the command line. The command downloads the package from the online repository and installs it.

    I recommend raylib. Check out a basic example; it's about as straightforward as it gets.
  • Where to find more information on using languages beside c++?

    Generally the respective Github pages for the binding would be a good starting point so for C# go here if you have not already https://github.com/ChrisDill/Raylib-cs
  • Need help with converting C++ to C#
    3 projects | /r/imgui | 6 Oct 2022
    I'm converting rlImGui from C++ to C# so I can use it with ImGui.NET and Raylib-cs but I'm getting stuck at a couple places. I don't know how to convert line 331 to C# since in ImGui.NET cmd.UserCallback is an IntPtr and not something I can call. I did a quick google search and you can use the Marshal library to convert it to a callable delegate but I think you need to also have the delegate known to do that. There's also line 82 but that is specific to Raylib. The function it calls does not seem to be included in Raylib-cs. Also, rlImGui keeps using a Texture type but that is not defined in Raylib-cs or ImGui.NET. I assume I can substitute it with Texture2D from Raylib-cs but I'm not to the point in porting to see if Texture2D has the necessary fields/properties/methods.

  • If you were to start a new project that require OpenGL 3D graphics on C# What you will choose on 2022?
    2 projects | /r/csharp | 5 Aug 2022
    I've been using raylib-cs C# wrapper for raylib and have been quite happy with both. raylib is a relatively thin layer on top of OpenGL, especially if you use the rlgl functions.
  • Any official C# wrapper?
    2 projects | /r/raylib | 15 Jul 2022
    Not sure about "official", but I use raylib-cs and it works perfectly for me.
  • Help!

    Raylib-cs is very easy to use: https://www.raylib.com/ https://github.com/ChrisDill/Raylib-cs It's a binding to the Raylib C library.

    If you find the structure of MonoGame too opaque or technical -- totally reasonable given that you're learning your way around -- check out Raylib-cs, a C# wrapper for the C games programming library raylib. It doesn't get much simpler.
  • Ideal method for including resources in Raylib-CS?
    2 projects | /r/gamedev | 3 Mar 2022
    I am currently creating a prototype using Raylib-CS, C#, and Visual Studio Community 2022.

  • How should I learn C#?
    2 projects | /r/csharp | 14 Aug 2022
    3) Make your own separate simple project(s) applying what you're learning (maybe with a game theme) in a fun manner, and doing separate research or asking around (ex: C# discord server) to add in mechanics/features to your simple little console game. Like how to take input, convert it to int/string/parsing so the input must be correct, doing some calculations between your variables/arrays/etc to get an intended result. When I first learned arrays I made myself a little slot machine game over the course of a few days before resuming the brocode tutorials figuring out how to add music/sfx and stuff.

    I don't plan on using any game engines for awhile as my goal is to work on improving my C# knowledge, and so far i've made a little slot machine game in the windows console but I wish to move onto a new project.
