Pixel VS Veldrid

All tutorials I could find are either outdated or skip over installation, and the https://github.com/faiface/pixel/wiki/Building-Pixel-on-Windows github page is not detailed at all.

Hi! I'm making a game using faiface/pixel. It's a very cool lib, but I can't find any examples for creating a menu button (as in the screenshot). I have read all the documentation and haven't found an answer to the questions below:

From what I've seen, Ebitengine seems to be the most popular choice among hobby and professional game devs, but there are other frameworks as well like oakmound/oak and faiface/pixel that continue to be maintained on Github to this day.

faiface/pixel: A hand-crafted 2D game library in Go

I don't see why it can't be used in video game development in fact, there are already a few games made in go like Bear's Restaurant though most of them seem to be 2D games That is also a few game engines/frameworks/library made in go like G3N, Ebiten, pixel and go-gl I have seen a few Youtube Videos where people make games in go like Gaming in Go Making an MMO I think what is Missing is gaming engines with a GUI like unity, unreal and Godot but nothing stopping someone from making one other than the massive time/money investment it takes

For learning Go, A Tour of Go, and tutorials from libraries I used (Pixel and Beep), as well as a lot of Googleing.

Btw, for game engines/libraries in Go, feel free to check out Ebiten, or my Pixel.

I have played around with the Python TCOD tutorial before this, but the library I'm using (Pixel) is very different. I think it's more similar to PyGame.

I'd recommend Veldrid

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?

https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid and https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET are nice wrappers around several graphic apis

Check out Veldrid.

Veldrid is a lower level engine that abstracts away a bunch of backends for you. Youll have to build your own pieces on top.

Also noteworthy: Veldrid

in addition to what everyone has said already, take a look at https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid

Veldrid for graphics although I think SILK.net would also work well.

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..

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.
