SharpGDX is a C# port of Java's cross-platform game development framework, libGDX (1.13.0), based on OpenGL (ES), designed for Windows, Linux, macOS. It provides a robust and well-established environment for rapid prototyping and iterative development. Unlike other frameworks, ShrpGDX does not impose a specific design or coding style, allowing you the freedom to create games according to your preferences.

While this is considered to be in the earlier stages of development, and most features do work, I do expect bugs.

I also plan to clean up all the code to make it more consistent with the best practices of C#. This will include changes such as cleaning up the documentation and solidifying access (C# and Java differ on the inherit access level of objects when it is unspecified).

As this is a port, there will be a concentrated effort to clean up the code, but to also stay true to the original types and intents; at rare times breaking C# best practices, or keeping classes that served a purpose in Java but aren't as useful in C# (i.e. Array<T>).

Tests is in a very infant state. It will compile and run, but it is not working properly. I am actively working to fix this and implement all of the tests.

There is a port of a demo here: Super Jumper

Other demos are almost complete, I am fixing bugs as I port them (Cuboc is down to 1 bug). I will also try and port some of the older libGDX demos that are not up to date for current version of libGDX.

You can find documentation here. This is a work in progress port of the libGDX documentation located here.

You can find an alpha (pre-release) version on NuGet here. This works on Windows and possibly works on Mac and Linux (I do not have a system running Mac or Linux, so cannot be sure, but I see no reason it won't work).

This NuGet relies on OpenTK and the base SharpGDX library, which will be added for you.

• SharpGDX.Controllers
  • This has some hidden dependencies I need to port.
• SharpGDX.Ashley
  • This is complete, though I do plan to clean it up since generics have some subtle differences in C# and Java (lots of unnecessary 'Type' passing in the C# version.
• SharpGDX.Box2D
  • The Java to C# portion is complete. But I have to create all the externs and a DLL for the C++ portion (I don't have all the nice tools that are used for JNI).
• SharpGDX.AI
  • I have not started this yet.
