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.

Alternative to SharpDX for 2D rendering?
For Windows only, Win2D!

[WinUI] High level 2D rendering library
You're looking for Win2D: https://github.com/microsoft/Win2D. It's the official D2D WinRT wrapper, supports UWP and WinUI, has seamless interior with XAML, it's very easy to use and has extensive interop APIs (even more so once we ship the next release) that give you maximum control if needed. I recommend checking it out 🙂

Wanting to create a GUI project, any help?
Your easiest bet is likely to use Win2D within UWP or WinUI 3, then you could just throw a CanvasControl as the root of your UI and draw whatever you want on it, including setting individual pixels. Alternatively an easy way to do that could be to use a WriteableBitmap in WPF/UWP/WinUI 3 just drawn into a root Border or something, and then you can easily manipulate pixels there. Of course, that'd be slower and not CPU accelerated, but still viable depending on your exact use case.

What library should I use to make basic 2D graphics which is simple to use and that is able to quickly draw a bunch of particles (circles) on the screen with updating positions every frame? (Not the best description ever. I explain it better in the post's text)
Alternatively you can also try Win2D, which is an official wrapper for D2D available for UWP and WinUI. You could use its CanvasAnimatedControl panel and then do your drawing from there, and just manually draw all your particles. The actual drawing would still be GPU accelerated, so it'd be relatively efficient (though less than using a custom shader, as you'd be queueing each particle from the CPU side).

I've made a Video Editor for Windows 10, focused on Speed + Simplicity. Would you use it?
To make a long story short, it's a UWP app since I've used DirectX 11 for drawing on the screen. I use C#, and I needed win2d (https://github.com/microsoft/Win2D)

What's the best way to develop something with GUI in C#?
Universal Windows Platform was introduced as the new hotness, but in my personal experience lacks a number of features from WPF I couldn't part with. It seems to have flopped a bit outside of applications developed by Microsoft. Projects that I though would bring features I really wanted (like win2d: GitHub - microsoft/Win2D) seem to have lost support. I'd hold off on this.

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

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?
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. OpenTK can be used standalone or inside a GUI on Windows, Linux, Mac.
