An SDL wrapper library for .NET.

Ian Burgmyer bfc43b9463 Major work on Canvases and Sprites. * GetCanvasPointer() is now a Canvas function pointer. This is a breaking change, but it should allow any Canvas-derived object to be fed an arbitrary ARGB surface if the implementer chooses to take that approach. * Canvas and Sprite textures are created in a more consistent way. * The background Canvas now uses the same functions that Sprites use for texture creation and updates. * Added a public UpdateTexture() function so that implementers can manually update sprites if necessary. This should not be used too often as it can lead to performance issues. * The SpriteList now initializes Sprites using the stanard Canvas initialization routines. * Implemented two moveable "players" in Sample.Sprites. * Sprites can actually be drawn! Alpha and blending modes are not supported at the moment.		5 years ago

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.

Current Features

At this time, DotSDL supports the following features:

Audio
- Support for all audio formats supported by SDL.
- Full upmixing and downmixing for mono, stereo, and quadraphonic audio.
  - 5.1 audio is supported, but upmixing and downmixing support for it is currently limited.
Input
- Keyboard input.
- Window events.
Graphics
- A single 32-bit ARGB canvas (useful for pixel plotting).
Power
- Battery state.

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.
