🌙 Yoru Engine

Flexible 2D game/application framework for crossplatform development

About

Yoru is a software development framework written in C#, designed for creating crossplatform apps and games. Backed by the capabilities of SkiaSharp, Yoru provides a direct approach towards developing scalable and production-ready software, that runs smoothly across all platforms. See the example project for a demonstration of Yoru's capabilities.

Structure

Applications made with Yoru have a simple structure, consisting of Application, Desktop and Mobile projects.

• Application is the main project, where the application logic is written.
• Desktop is the project for desktop applications, and is used to run the application on Windows, macOS and Linux.
• Mobile is the project for mobile applications, and is used to run the application on iOS and Android.

Yoru provides an abstract Renderer class, that allows a single SkiaSharp canvas to be consistently used across all platforms. Audio, input, and other features undergo a similar process, allowing for a seamless development experience.

Platforms

Yoru was designed with the goal of allowing a single C# project to run smoothly across common operating systems, without requiring platform-specific code. Yoru utilises both OpenTK and .NET Maui to provide native support for Window, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, and bridges platform-specific commands to a global interface for straightforward development.

The following platforms are (planned to be) supported by Yoru:

• Windows 10+
• macOS 10.12+
• Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.)
• iOS 11+
• Android 5.0+

Installation

You may find the Nuget package Here.

.NET CLI

<h4><code>dotnet add package Yoru --prerelease</code></h4>

Common Issues

You may encounter missing library issues on Linux, usually for fontconfig. You should be able to find the development package for your distribution, otherwise you may use the following commands:

Debian

sudo apt install libfontconfig-dev

Arch

sudo pacman -S fontconfig

Fedora

sudo dnf install fontconfig-devel

Usage

More information and/or a wiki will be added later. For an example project, see the example project.
