SDL2-CS VS MonoGame

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.

To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

Yes, it is possible, but you need to use a game framework not a game engine.

Example of a game framework: http://www.monogame.net.

Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame

Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.

Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew Valley and Celeste.

Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).
