Foster is an open source & cross-platform game framework made in C# dotnet core.

★ very work in progress! likely to have frequent, breaking changes! please use at your own risk! ★

• Designed for small desktop + console 2D and 3D games; No mobile
• A simple and lightweight Platform API so it's easy to swap out the guts
• As few dependencies outside of C# as possible
• Modern C# without worry about backwards compatibility
• This isn't built for modern graphics or like a billion polygons
• This isn't meant to have Game Engine-specific code, but rather just contain Windowing, Rendering, Input, and Audio

• Framework: The main Framework with an abstract Platform implementation. Handles Input, Drawing, Windowing, etc.
• Platforms: Platform implementations of the Framework modules (such as GLFW, SDL2, OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, etc)
• JSON: Simple JSON reading / writing library. Can also read and write non-strict JSON (like Hjson)

• dotnet 7.0 and C# 11
• stb_truetype for Font loading. We're using a C# port
• Each Platform implementation has its own dependencies
