A simple hobby game engine built with modern .NET technologies.
Surreal is a simple game engine built with the most recent .NET tech and C# features. It is designed mainly as a learning tool for game engine architecture and design.
It's similar in scope to existing game engines like MonoGame and libGDX, with an emphasis on simplicity and ease of use.

The following code snippet show how to use Surreal to create a simple game loop.
// configure the platform for hosting the game
var configuration = new GameConfiguration
{
Platform = new DesktopPlatform
{
Configuration =
{
Title = "Hello, Surreal!",
IsVsyncEnabled = true,
ShowFpsInTitle = true,
Width = 1920,
Height = 1080
}
}
};
// request access to whatever services you need in the start method
Game.Start(configuration, (Game game, IGraphicsBackend graphics, IKeyboardDevice keyboard) =>
{
var color1 = Random.Shared.Next<Color>();
var color2 = Random.Shared.Next<Color>();
// start a game loop and execute a callback on every frame
game.ExecuteVariableStep(time =>
{
var color = Color.Lerp(color1, color2, MathE.PingPong(time.TotalTime));
graphics.ClearColorBuffer(color);
if (keyboard.IsKeyPressed(Key.Escape))
{
game.Exit();
}
});
});
