WgpuSharp

.NET bindings and a low-allocation C# wrapper for wgpu-native.

Status: early. Raw bindings + smoke tests + two samples are in place. The idiomatic wrapper (WgpuSharp) is being built iteratively.

Layout

src/WgpuSharp.Native — ClangSharp-generated P/Invokes against wgpu.h / webgpu.h. Regenerated via dotnet build -t:Regenerate.
src/WgpuSharp.Utilities — dep-free helpers usable from samples and tests (e.g. a hand-written PNG encoder).
src/WgpuSharp (planned) — idiomatic wrapper.
samples/HelloTriangle — SDL3 window, renders a triangle.
samples/HeadlessTriangle — renders the same triangle to triangle.png, no window.
tests/WgpuSharp.Native.Tests — xUnit smoke suite covering instance → adapter → device → queue → command buffer.

Design principles

Aimed at games. Low allocation, raw-pointer friendly, minimal ceremony. Typical .NET safety (SafeHandle, Task-based async, defensive null checks) is not a goal — perf and zero per-frame allocations take precedence. Full guidelines and rationale live in CLAUDE.md.

Getting started

dotnet tool restore
dotnet build -t:Regenerate    # downloads wgpu-native headers + generates bindings
dotnet test                    # runs the smoke suite
dotnet run --project samples/HeadlessTriangle   # produces triangle.png
dotnet run --project samples/HelloTriangle      # opens an SDL3 window (Windows only for now)

Requires a .NET 11 preview SDK (see global.json).
