SKSSL

This is a shared library turned game engine. "SKSSL" stands for "SolKom Shared Standard Library" This was written in and for C#, and for use with the MonoGame and Gum UI frameworks. Many parts of this library— including its name —are derived from various other fragmented projects of mine whose parts were merged into this. (Example: DustLogger ➡ DustToDust, SolKom ➡ SolarKommand, YAMLParser ➡ XMP, etc.)

System Information

• .NET 9.0.0 SDK
• Developer OS: Windows 10
• Intended OS('s): Windows & Linux (and MacOS? Untested.)
• Framework: Monogame DesktopGL 3.4.2+
• Language(s): CS, YAML / YML, FTL

Program Goal

The goal is to establish a library built on top of Monogame and Gum that acts as a general framework for my other projects. As I progress my skills as a game developer, I am sharing my active understanding of code as the library progresses.

Limitations

Given that this is a library, it has limitations from C# version 9+ and its other dependencies. The classes are meant to be as ubiquitous as can be, but very-distant dependency versions past the ones this was developed with may cause issues. Otherwise, the limitations are systematic to the library and anything self-referential within it. (E.g. ECS & BaseWorld, SceneManager & BaseWorld, etc.)

Maintainer's Remarks

This is all a work-in-progress, but don't wait for releases! When I find a system in this library satisfactory enough for my other projects, I stop adding to that system. Contributions to systems no longer actively maintained are welcome.
