SilkRay

A C# implementation of core Raylib functions using Silk.NET OpenGL bindings.

Overview

SilkRay provides a familiar Raylib-style API for 2D graphics programming in C# using modern Silk.NET libraries. It implements the core functionality from Raylib's rcore and rshapes modules.

Features

Core Functions (rcore)

  • Window management (InitWindow, CloseWindow, WindowShouldClose)
  • Drawing lifecycle (BeginDrawing, EndDrawing, ClearBackground)
  • Screen properties (GetScreenWidth, GetScreenHeight)
  • Timing functions (GetTime, GetFrameTime, GetFPS)

Shape Drawing (rshapes)

  • Pixels: DrawPixel, DrawPixelV
  • Lines: DrawLine, DrawLineV, DrawLineEx
  • Rectangles: DrawRectangle, DrawRectangleV, DrawRectangleRec, DrawRectangleLines
  • Circles: DrawCircle, DrawCircleV, DrawCircleLines

Data Structures

  • Color - RGBA color with predefined constants
  • Vector2 - 2D vector math operations
  • Rectangle - Rectangle structure for bounds

Quick Start

using SilkRay;

// Initialize window
Raylib.InitWindow(800, 450, "My SilkRay App");
Raylib.SetTargetFPS(60);

// Main loop
while (!Raylib.WindowShouldClose())
{
    Raylib.BeginDrawing();
    
    Raylib.ClearBackground(Color.RayWhite);
    
    // Draw shapes
    Raylib.DrawRectangle(100, 100, 200, 100, Color.Red);
    Raylib.DrawCircle(400, 200, 50, Color.Blue);
    Raylib.DrawLine(0, 0, 800, 450, Color.Green);
    
    Raylib.EndDrawing();
}

Raylib.CloseWindow();

Examples

The project includes several example programs:

  1. Basic Shapes - Demonstrates all shape drawing functions
  2. Animation - Shows a bouncing ball with trail effects
  3. Color Palette - Displays all predefined colors

Run examples:

Example.RunBasicShapesExample();
Example.RunAnimatedExample();
Example.RunColorPaletteExample();

Building

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet run

Dependencies

  • Silk.NET.OpenGL (2.20.0)
  • Silk.NET.Windowing (2.20.0)
  • Silk.NET.Input (2.20.0)
  • .NET 8.0

Architecture

  • Raylib.cs - Main API that matches Raylib function signatures
  • Renderer.cs - OpenGL rendering backend using Silk.NET
  • Shader.cs - Shader program management
  • Color.cs - Color utilities and predefined constants
  • Vector2.cs - 2D math operations

Limitations

  • Text rendering not yet implemented
  • Input handling is basic (placeholders for keyboard/mouse)
  • Limited to 2D graphics
  • No texture/image loading
  • No audio support

Future Enhancements

  • Font loading and text rendering
  • Complete input system implementation
  • Texture and sprite support
  • Additional shape primitives
  • Performance optimizations
