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.

Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners
I love Go, yet I've never thought of it as a language with usable game engines. I'm extremely happy to find I was very wrong about that!
I'm woefully behind the curve on compiling to WASM, though, and I've yet to experiment much with tinygo so I have no idea how far I would get in creating a game people could enjoy in a browser without having to download a big bundle of assets. It's reassuring to see WASM mentioned explicitly as a compilation target [1] by Ebitengine though.

Ho did/do you remove cgo?
For other OSes, see https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/issues/1162

Is there a love2d for c++?
What about learning Go with Ebiten? Or Rust with Bevy?
-
What would be the closest thing to Unity/Unreal C#/C++ for Go to create games/animations/visual work?
Actually, there is a game engine in Go. Ebiten(gine) is actually really popular and has already been used for a few games in production

Mac + opengl
I noticed a similar issue when I got my MBP with the framebuffer not matching the window size and this has to do with the DPI settings. This GitHub link helped me understand the issue better and I hope it can be of assistance to you https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/pull/1811

crten - a small tool to view your pixel art with a CRT screen effect
This program also demonstrates how great Ebitengine is and how you can port GLSL shaders to it almost 1 to 1.

Sharing Saturday #438
Hey guys, first post here. I'm working on a roguelike written in Go using ebitengine. It's very early on, I don't wanna show too much in its current state, and of course everything is currently in flux, but I've made some progress and a few decisions.
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.
Pixel - A hand-crafted 2D game library in Go
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.
