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

    Veldrid is a lower level engine that abstracts away a bunch of backends for you. Youll have to build your own pieces on top.
  • Is modern C# a good choice for writing a Vulkan engine?
    3 projects | /r/gamedev | 7 Jan 2022
    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.
  • Efficient, cross-platform graphics library?
    5 projects | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 29 Jun 2021
    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.
  • How do you manipulate individual pixels in C#?
    4 projects | /r/csharp | 25 Dec 2020
    Someone else suggested Veldrid for its OpenGL and Vulkan support. But if you want DirectX, note that Veldrid supports DirectX for Windows projects, and has recently switched from using SharpDX to Vortice behind the scenes.

    To create a "Good" c# game with some modern graphics I would recommend utilizing a library like Veldrid https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid which lets you use openGL/Vulcan etc and can be used in dot net core to create cross platform compatible games.
