Pthis is really good feedback, cc @kaijellinghaus
ҠMost of the usage for sdl is opengl and vulkan at least i think, thats where you guys are handling it the best too
ҠI think it is okay to be not complete because of how powerful it is at the moment
Li think the missing function was added late last year? like november? when were the SDL bindings last regenated?
Lthis
ҠAlso not to mention, when you are looking at other code examples in c++ (like for imgui and stuff), silk.net is the only one that you can basically copy paste and change some syntax, because you provide pointers and stuff like that. So having a c# imgui project without your windowing is so easy. I literally havent found any other c# imgui conversion other than my own and silk.net.windowing
ҠAnd monogame i guess but that is very different
ҠI love it and will be sad to see it dropped, since i had planned to use it for the next 2 years at least, and didnt know it would be removed. A lot of my private and public repos use it since I deal with opengl a lot
RVeldrid imgui?
ҠAnd i feel i wouldve gotten someone to learn about silk.net by looking at my public repos
RJust because they're not going to be maintained and updated doesn't mean they're going to stop working
RAnd we will have silk touch
RYou could in theory just create your own
Pi mean for the record if you were a silk.net maintainer dedicated solely to sdl upkeep, i'd imagine they'd stick around
Pbut the biggest thing is distributing kai's and thomas' time efficiently, and adding another binding to that mix makes is more challenging
ҠYeah
ҠIt is just sad
RI have no clue how to maintain an API
ҠI can't even compile sdl for other platforms (which means i cant really use the other binding because it isnt on nuget and requires you to build for every platform yourself, and use ifdefs)
Lyou mean SDL2CS?
ҠYa
Lwdym ifdefs?
ҠUnless im missing something
Lit works for me
Lon both windows and linux
ҠWell i have to include the proper platform lib/dll in the csproj
Llinux will always have SDL globally
RWindows doesn't necessarily
RI can't speak for macOS because that's stupid
RMaybe you can speak to BSD considering your knowledge on that
R(was reading the workspace for 3.0 today lmao)
RIf someone commits to continuing to work on the bindings. I'd be open to attempting to get them to work in the silk.net 3.0 windowing abstraction. Maybe not at first. Would probably only focus on GLFW but once the bindings do get generated and work is shown, I'd be open to trying to get them up and running
Lbindings on BSD are... interesting
KQuick note on maintainers (feel free to quote this in the future)
We will be looking for Bindings owners / maintainers in the future. This will generally be a low maintenance role to have, but they are responsible for providing samples, tutorials, documentation, checking breaking changes each update (there should be few) and point out issues with generation.
We are of course also looking for contributors or even maintainers for the generator (3.0) I have most of the infrastructure ready and an initial end to end test is functional (to be merged)
Reach out to me if you're interested in any of this. Bindings maintainers can't do much right now, but I'd reach out again once there are.
I will maintain the generator & look to own vulkan in the future.
OpenGL is the big one here, it's missing someone to own right now, I want to keep it for sure but am not proficient enough in it right now.

K@kermalis see above.
P@kaijellinghaus iirc Thomas was OpenGL owner
KYeah I was hoping for that, but haven't made any concrete plans with them yet
Psee also codeowners
Pbut yeah
Pwe need owners for others!
KSimilarly I'm excited for WebGPU & OpenXR, so I'd look at them as well
KPrimarily looking for community feedback for now
Lwhat would be the best way to get the users backspace key repeat? it seems that Silk doesnt pass us backspace in
KeyCharLi dont want to implement it myself as i would like to follow the users system KeyRepeat settings
Pinteresting. I don’t know is the answer I’m afraid, I’m guessing we’ll have to plumb in the repeat event in our implementation for backspace
Poh
Pbut I’d have no idea how we’d do it from an API level
PI guess we’ll have to implement enhanced input events after all
Pand just call it
IKeyboard1 or somethingPoh wait actually
