# DotSDL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DotSDL is a .NET Standard library designed to allow easy access to the SDL2
|
|
|
|
|
library using either the .NET Framework or .NET Core.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike SDL2#, DotSDL is not a direct SDL wrapper. It attempts to add some
|
|
|
|
|
additional functionality to make writing SDL applications easier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### How To Use DotSDL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DotSDL is currently under heavy development and, as such, doesn't have much
|
|
|
|
|
in the way of documentation. Currently, the best way to use it is to look over
|
|
|
|
|
the sample/test projects and to read over the XMLDocs on the classes and
|
|
|
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you would still like to play around with DotSDL, the project can be built
|
|
|
|
|
using the .NET Core SDK or any IDE that support .NET Standard projects. You
|
|
|
|
|
will also need a native SDL2 library for each architecture that you plan to
|
|
|
|
|
build your project against.
