dream come true, so does that mean your matrix types are the same majorness as the numerics types?

Lshould be the same yup
Cshould have been here day one 
Lwe try to make using everything as seemless as possible
Cits a wonderful contrast to opentk haha
Lif i remember correctly, perksey (one of the founders of Silk) is actually from OpenTK, so we had a good starting point for fixing some of the pain points of it
Lalthough silk isnt a 100% replacement for OpenTK in all cases
Cyeah i remember hearing about that, i also dont think its the fault of opentk i realize a lot of those issues are for legacy reasons
LOpenTK also has kinda different goals than Silk, its different stokes for different folks
NReminder that System.Numerics is row major, the same as OpenTK
JWhat do I need to do if I'd want to develop mobile apps with Silk.NET and native functionality, like accessing the gallery. Mainly targeting Android, maybe iOS. Do I base the project off of Xamarin or MAUI? Just trying to figure out the first steps here
Pneither, all you need to use is net6.0-android
Ptake a look at this demo https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/tree/main/examples/CSharp/OpenGL%20Demos/AndroidDemo
JOh wow that's awesome, can't believe I missed that example
JBut then it would only run on Android right? I'd have to completely give up on iOS?
PiOS is not officially supported by silk today
Pthere are technically code paths that exist but they haven’t been tested & verified for production
Rso don't get your hopes up in other words?
JAlright, fair enough. Thanks! 
Phello how can I help you
L(if you do test it out and get it to work, please send us a minimal example we would be forever grateful)
PFWIW I got it working on the simulator a while ago
RNothing you can currently do?
Lo sick
Pbut it segfaulted on the real deal

A fork of SDL for compatibility with Xamarin.iOS. Contribute to Ultz/SDL-Xamarin.iOS development by creating an account on GitHub.
JWould it be reasonable to assume iOS and Silk.NET will work someday? Or is it 50/50?
Pyeah it probably will some day, the bulk of the work is done we just need an iOS expert to contribute some time to get it all the way
PSilk.NET - High-Speed & Advanced .NET Graphics & Compute
Li havent seen that image that is amazing
Rlove the retro CGI vibe it gives
RLike we are lighting up an intricate 80's neon sign

That's good to hear!Reason why I'm asking these questions: For my internship at -redacted- I've been tasked to find/setup a decent basis to develop mobile games on, preferably something C# based.
Unity is the clear goto, but it's recent actions have been... concerning. Godot is also one of the contenders, as is Silk.NET, since it has some really great things going for it.
Rdoes stride support IOS?
JSo basically I got 9 months so figure shit out, develop a simple serious mobile game and release it. I think it'd be great if that was using Silk.NET
Lwe're here to answer any questions you may have about Silk and its viability on mobile platforms
R@keyslam "Stride currently supports Windows, Android, iOS, Xbox One and Universal Windows Platforms (UWP). Stride also supports most popular VR headsets and has experimental support for Linux."
R
Rmight suggest at least looking into this
Lstride may be a good choice too yeah, depends on the level of graphics code you want to write
ATo add one more option, monogame also supports android & ios
PI don’t think the new versions of stride have been proven on android or iOS
PThe Xenko versions should, but it’s using Xamarin
LMonogame is battle tested but has a very outdated API
RThat would be my worry with monogame
RWhat version does it support again?
Aoutdated very much so, especially when it comes to shaders, barely functions
even still, it's another option and many successful games have been released with it

Aopengl 2.1 (up to shader model 3)
d3d11 (up to shader model 5 iirc)
there is ofc the compute fork too but not too many people are aware of that

Ryeah, I would avoid it then for anything more complex than a simple 2d game :(
Li dont think anyone has tested compute fork on mobile devices
