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.

Unhandled SEHException when running OpenTK project - What am I doing wrong?
Open a new issue on Github. Include all of this, and provide info on your OS and GPU.

Drew a shape in C#
For anyone interested in getting into this: https://opentk.net/
- How do game engines calculate frame-to-frame?
-
HELP! OpenGL for C#
OpenTK is probably the most known library for that.
-
A friend sent this to me, before passing away.
I used OpenTK, an OpenGL framework for C# and hacked together a small app that renders a fullscreen textured quad (in this case OP's image) with a shader I found in this article.

Games from scratch
i'd go for OpenTK so you don't have to learn c++ in addition. also one of the most important things is understanding how to communicate with the GPU and for that https://learnopengl.com/ is a great resource. (also creating a 3d engine is not really that much harder than a 2d engine in my opinion)

I need something like Pygame + PyOpenGL or LWJGL, but for C#/.NET
https://opentk.net/ for OpenGL
-
Is it possible to make the keyboard a separate device (like controllers) for local multiplayer?
But OpenTK can, and you can use it within godot if you add it as a C# library with godot C# https://opentk.net/
-
Software for simple 2D animation user interface
https://opentk.net/ or https://www.libsdl.org/ might be for you

My first attempt to create an octree based LOD system for a blocky planet, still fighting with seams
Thanks! I'm creating an engine (far from being ready for public use) while developing the game based on OpenTK which is pretty much like GLFW for C# (it is a bit more advanced than that though), so yeah pretty much from scratch.
