SDL2-CS VS Metalkons-Slots

I'm building a mini game engine using SDL2-CS as a way to learn about things like P/Invoke. (I already have quite a bit of experience with C++ and SDL2)

Source: SDL2-CS

Download, build and add a reference to this SDL2 C# binding by @flibitijibibo: (https://github.com/flibitijibibo/SDL2-CS)

Is there a way for me to use SDL2 with OpenGL and C#? The SDL2 C# bindings I'm using don't seem to have bindings for the OpenGL commands. Honestly I just want a quick way to draw 2D primitives with fragment shaders (I don't need vertex shaders). I've worked with OpenTK, but it seems counterintuitive to mold it into a program where you wanna just make draw calls without worrying about Vertex Arrays. Is there any way for me to get access to fragment shaders in SDL2 with C#?

I'd recommend using an SDL2 wrapper for C# (possibly this one) and start building your system out piece by piece. You'll learn more from this attempt than any book, course, or existing game engine could ever teach you.

Hi. I wrote my own little game in python. Now I'd like to do the same in C# to learn the language. Pygame is a binding of SDL so I got interested in it. I googled and found two bindings of SDL for C#: https://github.com/flibitijibibo/SDL2-CS https://github.com/babelshift/SharpDL But I see in internet that SDL is very unpopular. Do somebody of you use SDL in C# for game developing? I prefer SDL over Unity or Monogame for now, because I'd like to program as low level as possible.

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.

This is an early project slot machine game from a few months ago that I made that mostly focused on using arrays and loops

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.
