context? details?
WPF and Avalonia are both good "GUI libs"
if by that you mean you want to make desktop GUIs
I want to make game guis
Then say that in your opening message. Include what game engine you are working with as well.
for desktop developement
for games you have options: unity, godot, stride
For my own game engine
Or should i do it my own
for your own engine you can try Silk.NET
which is a binding to vulkan, opengl and blabla for C#
Im looking for a gui system
For ingane
Not for doing a window system
vulkan and opengl are gui systems
Yk what i mean
A ui system
you either use a finished ui system
or you make your own with bindings to low level systems
Ok 👌
and most common low level systems are vulkan, direct3d and opengl
they have nothing to do with the window
where silk.net makes a binding for it
does Xamarin.Forms really provide a more stable developer experience than Maui? in what regard?
maui is on the edge of usability, its bugged as hell
and maui is new..xamarin is old
that I know
really? the dotnet pro magazine where I have most of my information from said its very reliable now. They also said the core apis are finished and won't change in future
develop something with it then you will feel it 😛
i prefer WPF over maui
I am develooping something right now with it (have only started few days a go to be fair)
I am migrating our app from wpf to maui lol
would make more sense to migrate to avalonia
avalonia doesnt suport mobile platforms
I rather support mobile than linux
We*
wait
I thought Avalonia does support mobile
according to this pic it doesnt
avalonia is close to wpf allready and it doesnt care about the underlying system
if you want to launch your app on your mobile phone then go for maui
So you mean UWP is not the best ?? for like 90% of case..
Because I work on UWP and I tought I will do my app in android studio as well with c# library for gain in time....
@joreyk Did you think I need to move to like MAUI for android and IOS compatibility ? (I tried xamarin with not a lot of good result)
maui is meant to be run on mobile devices
It is easy to move from UWP to maui or it's an other type of logic ?
not really
they're graphics apis
i think they're asking for something like neosis
but thats c++ obviously
and I'm not aware of anything else, in not a game dev
(I'm not here for game dev btw)
@mrscauthd are you trying to make a GUI game, or you want to implement a GUI inside a game?
there's https://github.com/ImGuiNET/ImGui.NET which I believe allows you to draw a ui inside something else

Well but this one is very messy
