MicroEngine

The backend-independent core of MicroEngine, a code-first 2D game engine for .NET: the game loop, scenes, input actions (keyboard, gamepad, touch), the graphics model, audio synthesis, UI, saves, achievements and a headless platform for tests. It has no native dependency.

It also brings the build targets that give a game its application identity (name, id, version, icon, orientation), which microengine package turns into each system's metadata.

Most games reference a platform package instead, which brings this one: MicroEngine.Desktop (SDL 3 and raylib), or MicroEngine.Sdl alone. Start with the template:

dotnet tool install -g MicroEngine.Cli --prerelease
microengine new MyGame

MicroEngine is in Alpha (0.x): public APIs may change incompatibly between versions; each change is listed in the migration notes. MIT licensed.
