RIf they are going to use your engine to make any other meaningful games
Rit has to be usable by the way
Rnot to mention you need to document and explain everything, so that they can understand what is going on
Rnow, it is great for job security, if they feel forced to use it though
Rthey will have to keep you around to make their stuff work
Rto fix this, implement that
Tdon't forget about the seven eleven million bugs on mobile platforms when it comes to rendering
L:^)
Rahh yep
Ror compute shaders 
RI hope I gave you PTSD
Tcompute shaders are a joke on adreno gpus at least
Rfor loops intensifies
RGPU VIDEO MEMORY CORRUPTION GROWS
JYeah, that does make the most sense then, doesn't it? 
I think using Silk for something like that would be fun, but maybe that should just be a hobbyist project. There's also definitely a "I don't know what I don't know" aspect here which is preventing me from really grasping the scope of such a project.
I'm not quite closing the book on Silk for this, maybe there's still some cool things to be done with it.
I saw your PM's and Stride3D looks really promising, I'll definitely be checking that out too
Thanks y'all for answering my questions and having the discussion, I really appreciate it

Lgood luck on the project
Rwelcome, but yeah I would suggest godot or stride. Silk is fine for hobbiests or if you are in a positition to build an engine, but most of the time sadly, especially with work people aren't. Its a large time-sink and costs quite a bit
RI would not completely give up on silk, I would just have a backup plan laid elsewhere
Rdo silk as a secondary
J
Sounds good!
FI think that using Silk.Net you learn stuff that you wouldn't learn with an existing game engine
FFor my case I like learning the low-level bits of code and how to structure the engine from scratch... I don't have money goals though so this is working for me.
BHi, this is my first time in this community and I have a question.
I was following the tutorials by myself, and I just saw that the texture part requires imagesharp.
Now I am wondering if there is any alternatives for this part.

BIf you are asking for a reason, I would say I am more familiar with mit license than apache
Lyou are allowed to use imagesharp freely under the conditions of
Lbut yes, if you dont fall under any of those, then you can use any image decoding library
Lour examples use imagesharp because its the easiest to use and generally the standard for custom built engines in C#
IHey everyone new to openGL and silk. The examples have been a great help but I am hoping for a specific example in some form or another.
Passing a struct as an SSBO to a compute shader and retrieving the updated value.
A simple example that merely modifies two variables in the struct array would be helpful.
I have tried to follow the openGL tutorials but they are in C++ and I feel I am fighting multiple battles at a time since I am not familiar with it.
Thanks.

IHere is my effort. Any help will be awesome!
The following task is to change 9000 values in an array from 8.0 to 25.0
shader.comp
Run Code Snippet

IThe Writeline returns 8.0.
This indicates to me that I am feeding the ssbo to the shader and retrieving it correctly but its not being operated on.
Am I correct in the assumption?

MHi, I'm new to Silk.NET and was wondering what the third parameters of the KeyDown action was. From what little I can find of it online its supposedly some id, but of what? It doesn't correspond to the enum key values. Is it the utf-16 id or something entirely different.
Tyou could try checking in renderdoc
Ti feel like you didn't setup the shader uniforms correctly
Tbecause you are creating the buffer in that snippet
ISolved it.
II actually forgot to use the shader. lol
Some of the classes are from the abstractions example.
CShader is a conversion of the Shader abstraction from the opengl tutorial asbtractions example that allows to just pass one object buffer rather
than 2 (i.e. vertex and fragment for standard use vs. 1 for compute shader.
I have never tried render doc and atm I am content in my current workflow but will down the line.

IThe above snippet with my shader.comp snippet should be a complete working example of passing a ssbo to computer shader, modifying it and retrieving its value.
SI can't see anything either - I had assumed it was a modifier, like to check if Shift etc was pressed, but I'm not sure - even the keyboard tests have it as a discard
Mmmm

this post mentioned it not being a modifier. im not clear on what they're saying it is tho

The 3rd param of the glfw KeyDown/KeyUp events is the code instead of the modifiers. Is this on purpose? I expected it to be the modifiers. Or do I have to create key modifiers on my own through Is...
SI've got it - just ran a test
