SDL2Example

Very basic .NET 6 (C#) SDL2 example application. There are probably a lot of beginner mistakes in this; feel free to point them out to me.

Example project under MIT License. All used external libraries, binaries, resources under their respective licenses as listed here or stored in the lib folder.

Requirements:

• This is a .NET 6 application: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

Hints and tips:

• Check the comments in SDL2Example.csproj
• If you use VS Code, set the program path in launch.json to the executable (not dll), for example ${workspaceFolder}/bin/Debug/net6.0/SDL2Example.exe or external resources will not load properly when debugging
