Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Seriously WTF C++?
There are quite a lot actually, even if we ignore engines and frameworks (though some of them are quite low level). Some of the biggest are Silk.NET, Vortice.Windows, SharpDX (the last one is dead but it still should work well).
-
What's the fastest way to get pixel data from a Bitmap?
In C#, that means you'll need something like Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET. If you just want WIC (and not a bunch of DirectX stuff, there's also a plain old WIC interop library. And if you don't mind a well-tested, yet end-of-life library, there's SharpDX.

3D Graphics Component
These days, you're better off with Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET.
-
DirectX in NativeAOT
For those looking for an alternative to SharpDX, Vortice.Windows is an option.
-
How do you manipulate individual pixels in C#?
Microsoft has refused to support it. There have been community-made managed wrappers for DirectX, but SlimDX died years ago and SharpDX was abruptly abandoned and its github archived in early 2019. There's a new one called Vortice that seems to be trying to pick up where SharpDX left off.

Is there a real time graphics llibrary in c#
I'd recommend Veldrid

Question: How to create OpenGL C# Bindings from scratch? (Bear with me please...)
So, for example, Veldrid, a low cross-platform graphics API-agnostic rendering and compute library for .NET, has its own bindings to provide different graphics backends. How were those created? Is it a completely manual process? are tools available? How are those maintained?
-
I need something like Pygame + PyOpenGL or LWJGL, but for C#/.NET
https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid and https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET are nice wrappers around several graphic apis

C# voxel dev for mac & windows?
Check out Veldrid.
-
Game engine for programmars
Veldrid is a lower level engine that abstracts away a bunch of backends for you. Youll have to build your own pieces on top.
-
What graphic frameworks you recommend?
Also noteworthy: Veldrid
-
Is modern C# a good choice for writing a Vulkan engine?
in addition to what everyone has said already, take a look at https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid
-
Custome game engine: what stack ?
Veldrid for graphics although I think SILK.net would also work well.
-
Efficient, cross-platform graphics library?
If you’re interested in C#, You could look into Veldrid. It is 3D however, so im not sure how easy it is to do 2D with it. ImGui.NET is a set of .NET bindings for Dear ImGui, which is one of the best immediate mode gui librarys out there imo. It has a canvas feature which allows you to draw 2D shapes via the gui renderer. Also, the creator of Veldrid and ImGui.NET has an example project for ImGui.NET using veldrid..
-
XNA vs FNA vs Monogame
Veldrid attempts to wrap several graphics api, directx11, metal, opengl, and vulkan. You would have to write most things from scratch but this lib will work cross platform. Probably not consoles though.
What are some alternatives?
SharpDX
Silk.NET - The high-speed OpenGL, OpenCL, OpenAL, OpenXR, GLFW, SDL, Vulkan, Assimp, WebGPU, and DirectX bindings library your mother warned you about.
OpenTK - The Open Toolkit library is a fast, low-level C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenAL & OpenCL. It also includes windowing, mouse, keyboard and joystick input and a robust and fast math library, giving you everything you need to write your own renderer or game engine.
