What are some good tutorials for making 2D games with C# in visual studio without a game engine?

• Metalkons-Slots

  0 0 4.0 C#

  Discontinued Slot machine game in the console

  I don't plan on using any game engines for awhile as my goal is to work on improving my C# knowledge, and so far i've made a little slot machine game in the windows console but I wish to move onto a new project.

• MonoGame

  11 10,751 9.0 C#

  One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

  

  More a framework than an engine, Monogame should fit the bill.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• SDL2-CS

  1 995 4.5 C#

  SDL2# - C# Wrapper for SDL2

  I'd recommend using an SDL2 wrapper for C# (possibly this one) and start building your system out piece by piece. You'll learn more from this attempt than any book, course, or existing game engine could ever teach you.

• Raylib-cs

  1 681 8.6 C#

  C# bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to learn videogames programming

  If you find the structure of MonoGame too opaque or technical -- totally reasonable given that you're learning your way around -- check out Raylib-cs, a C# wrapper for the C games programming library raylib. It doesn't get much simpler.

• raylib

  57 18,660 9.8 C

  A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming

  If you find the structure of MonoGame too opaque or technical -- totally reasonable given that you're learning your way around -- check out Raylib-cs, a C# wrapper for the C games programming library raylib. It doesn't get much simpler.

• rlImGui-cs

  0 47 7.6 C#

  A Raylib-cs integration with DearImGui

  

  I start with this repo because it has ImGui wired up nicely: https://github.com/raylib-extras/rlImGui-cs
