Alternatives to XNA
Author
Hey guys. I am trying to figure out if there are any alternatives to using XNA with C#. Im looking for a very similar, game focused library for C#, but possibly one built on openGL instead of DirectX. Mainly because I also want to learn some low level openGL programming, so it seems like a good idea that my game framework uses openGL as well. Ive used XNA and I do like it, Im just searching for alternatives with similar functionality... something like what LWJGL does for java possibly?
OpenTK is a c# OpenGL Wrapper + a bit more and SlimDX is DirectX10 + a bit more.
OpenTK is nice, I like it. I made this with it:

I don't really know how well it's suported. But it is essentialy just a load of [DllImport("opengl32.dll") ] glBlah(...); so doesn't require that much maintenance.
SlimDX looks better maintained but thats beacuse it's much more complicated.
