maybe you only play in lazer, if so replace your account url from osu.ppy.sh to lazer.ppy.sh

osu! (latest version is FOSS)

If you need a screenshot then there's one here: https://github.com/ppy/osu/discussions/23343

there's been a cross platform version for a few years, it's quite nice https://github.com/ppy/osu/

Custom rulesets are posted here. Most of them have instructions on their respective GitHub pages but generally it goes: To install this ruleset put the .DLL file onto your osu/Rulesets directory under %appdata%/. Restart osu!lazer and it will do the rest for you.

{ "id": "txibq9", "name": "osu!", "description": "osu! is a free-to-play rhythm game where the player clicks circles to the beat. The game was created by Dean \"peppy\" Herbert and released on September 16, 2007. It was originally written in C# on the .NET framework for Microsoft Windows, and has since been ported to macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It was inspired by iNiS's rhythm game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, and also takes inspiration from other rhythm games like Taiko no Tatsujin, Beatmania IIDX, Elite Beat Agents, O2Jam, StepMania, and DJMax. The game is heavily community-oriented, with all beatmaps and playable songs being community-made through the in-game map editor. Four different game modes exist, offering various ways to play a beatmap, which can also be combined with modifiers that increase or decrease the difficulty. The original osu!standard remains the most popular to date. As of r/place 2022, the game had 19,872,585 monthly active users according to the game's global country leaderboards.\n\nThis art is centered at the coordinates (727, 727), a reference to the osu! meme WYSI (when you see it). The meme originates from osu! top player chocomint setting a score worth 727pp (performance points) on the map \"Blue Zenith\", twice in 2016 and 2017. The meme saw a resurgence in 2020 from the top player Aireu after setting a play on \"Guess Who Is Back\", awarding him 727pp.\n\nIn 2017, the osu! logo was one of the most long-lasting, organized, well-maintained, and griefed logos, and continued its trend in 2022. It began as a controversial build due to its large size, and the bottom-right of the circle was heavily disputed with r/Superstonk's GameStop artwork. Despite multiple raids and griefs from larger communities and streamers, the osu! community proved to be indestructible, defending itself and its many allies.", "links": { "website": [ "https://osu.ppy.sh", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!" ], "subreddit": [ "osuplace", "osugame" ] }, "path": { "T:0-1, 1-164": [ [ 721, 678 ], [ 728, 678 ], [ 729, 678 ], [ 729, 679 ], [ 730, 679 ], [ 730, 680 ], [ 731, 680 ], [ 731, 681 ], [ 735, 681 ], [ 735, 680 ], [ 736, 680 ], [ 737, 679 ], [ 746, 679 ], [ 746, 681 ], [ 748, 681 ], [ 748, 682 ], [ 750, 682 ], [ 750, 683 ], [ 752, 683 ], [ 752, 684 ], [ 753, 684 ], [ 753, 685 ], [ 755, 685 ], [ 755, 687 ], [ 758, 687 ], [ 766, 696 ], [ 766, 697 ], [ 769, 701 ], [ 770, 702 ], [ 770, 704 ], [ 771, 704 ], [ 771, 707 ], [ 773, 709 ], [ 773, 712 ], [ 774, 712 ], [ 774, 715 ], [ 775, 715 ], [ 775, 720 ], [ 776, 721 ], [ 776, 734 ], [ 770, 734 ], [ 770, 755 ], [ 768, 755 ], [ 768, 756 ], [ 767, 756 ], [ 767, 758 ], [ 766, 758 ], [ 766, 759 ], [ 765, 759 ], [ 765, 760 ], [ 764, 760 ], [ 763, 760 ], [ 763, 761 ], [ 762, 761 ], [ 762, 763 ], [ 761, 763 ], [ 761, 764 ], [ 758, 767 ], [ 757, 767 ], [ 755, 769 ], [ 753, 769 ], [ 753, 770 ], [ 752, 771 ], [ 750, 771 ], [ 750, 772 ], [ 748, 772 ], [ 748, 773 ], [ 746, 773 ], [ 744, 775 ], [ 740, 775 ], [ 739, 776 ], [ 735, 776 ], [ 734, 777 ], [ 720, 777 ], [ 720, 776 ], [ 715, 776 ], [ 715, 775 ], [ 711, 775 ], [ 711, 774 ], [ 709, 774 ], [ 709, 773 ], [ 706, 773 ], [ 706, 772 ], [ 704, 772 ], [ 704, 771 ], [ 702, 771 ], [ 702, 770 ], [ 701, 770 ], [ 701, 769 ], [ 699, 769 ], [ 699, 768 ], [ 698, 768 ], [ 698, 767 ], [ 696, 767 ], [ 696, 766 ], [ 695, 766 ], [ 695, 765 ], [ 694, 765 ], [ 694, 764 ], [ 693, 764 ], [ 693, 763 ], [ 692, 763 ], [ 692, 762 ], [ 691, 762 ], [ 691, 761 ], [ 690, 761 ], [ 690, 760 ], [ 689, 760 ], [ 689, 759 ], [ 688, 759 ], [ 688, 758 ], [ 687, 758 ], [ 687, 755 ], [ 685, 755 ], [ 685, 753 ], [ 684, 753 ], [ 683, 752 ], [ 683, 750 ], [ 682, 750 ], [ 682, 748 ], [ 681, 748 ], [ 681, 744 ], [ 680, 744 ], [ 680, 743 ], [ 679, 743 ], [ 679, 739 ], [ 678, 739 ], [ 678, 734 ], [ 677, 734 ], [ 677, 721 ], [ 678, 721 ], [ 678, 717 ], [ 679, 717 ], [ 679, 712 ], [ 680, 711 ], [ 680, 709 ], [ 681, 709 ], [ 681, 706 ], [ 682, 706 ], [ 682, 705 ], [ 683, 705 ], [ 683, 702 ], [ 684, 702 ], [ 684, 701 ], [ 685, 701 ], [ 685, 699 ], [ 686, 699 ], [ 686, 698 ], [ 687, 698 ], [ 687, 697 ], [ 687, 696 ], [ 688, 696 ], [ 688, 695 ], [ 689, 695 ], [ 689, 694 ], [ 690, 694 ], [ 690, 693 ], [ 691, 693 ], [ 691, 692 ], [ 692, 692 ], [ 692, 691 ], [ 693, 691 ], [ 693, 690 ], [ 694, 690 ], [ 694, 689 ], [ 695, 689 ], [ 695, 688 ], [ 697, 688 ], [ 696, 687 ], [ 697, 687 ], [ 697, 686 ], [ 699, 686 ], [ 699, 685 ], [ 701, 685 ], [ 701, 684 ], [ 702, 684 ], [ 705, 687 ], [ 710, 682 ], [ 710, 680 ], [ 711, 679 ], [ 712, 680 ], [ 712, 681 ], [ 713, 682 ], [ 714, 682 ], [ 714, 683 ], [ 717, 683 ], [ 719, 681 ] ] }, "center": { "T:0-1, 1-164": [ 724, 728 ] } }

Related to your vision, you should definitely take a look at osu!framework. It's an open-source C# game engine, focused on 2D rendering and UIs. You can see the biggest example of it being used is, of course, osu! itself (osu!lazer, next iteration of osu!). It is so good that it has become my standard in terms of visual design and UI features.

An API I particularly like for this is how osu!framework does it.

Almost unrelated, but for game development (in C#), you might wanna look into the osu!framework, if at least just out of curiosity. It is a free and open-source game engine developed by peppy, the developer of osu!. You would also be able to develop on Linux (where programming tools really shine if you ask me) using VSCode and have neat things like visual tests and other stuff I haven't looked into.

it seems that despite using SDL, if you have "raw input" checked, it still uses the osuTK mouse input handler (https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework/blob/b97c26a684dc8ded5a349d24f8664a4f4b8c42a4/osu.Framework/Platform/DesktopGameHost.cs#L133, that's good)

My Favourite Graphics Engine at the moment is defnitly osu.Framework, you can find it here: https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework It can compile to .NET 5 and .NET 5 is cross platform now and the osu-framework makes smooth looking UIs with fancy transitions really really easy, it has some Audio Stuff in there aswell if you are looking to do something like that
