Sharp Engine

Sharp is an OpenGL C# game engine using ECS and OpenTK bindings with a strong focus on doing 2D well and being easy to learn.

Functionality

Fully customisable rendering
Performant component system allowing for extensible behaviours
Performance from the get-go
Easy to use dev-suite
Thorough documentation and code comments
ECS based engine

Usage:

nuget install @sharkgamedev/sharp (NUGET pkg coming soon)

Quick Examples:

Writing custom renderer

public class CustomSpriteRenderer : SpriteRenderer
{
	public override void OnRender()
	{
		// Please don't do any of this, this is purely for example
		GL.BindBuffer(BufferTarget.ArrayBuffer, GL.GenBuffer());
		GL.BufferData(...);
		GL.DrawElements(...);
		// etc..
	}
}

Custom component

public class CustomComponent : IComponent
{
	public override void OnLoad()
	{
		// etc...
	}

	public override void OnRender()
	{
		// etc...
	}

	public override void Update()
	{
		// etc..
	}
}

Features:

ECS efficient ECS pattern
JSON scene and project data stored in JSON for human readability
Scene Graph stay organized
Editor Fully featured editor
Code comments and for in-editor code suggestions
Editor Hot-Reload quickly test changes to your project
Hackable supports custom builds of the engine
Steamworks support for popular steamworks C# bindings

How it works:

This engine is a simplified interface to OpenTK providing the framework and means you need to build an awesome 2D game. Many engines try to do so many things nowadays and fall short on 2D tooling/performance because of it. Sharp aims to fix that and use a beginner friendly, easy and efficient language: C#.
