Yoru is a software development framework written in C#, designed for creating crossplatform apps and games. Backed by the capabilities of SkiaSharp, Yoru provides a direct approach towards developing scalable and production-ready software, that runs smoothly across all platforms. See the example project for a demonstration of Yoru's capabilities.

Applications made with Yoru have a simple structure, consisting of Application, Desktop and Mobile projects.

• Application is the main project, where the application logic is written.
• Desktop is the project for desktop applications, and is used to run the application on Windows, macOS and Linux.
• Mobile is the project for mobile applications, and is used to run the application on iOS and Android.

Yoru provides an abstract Renderer class, that allows a single SkiaSharp canvas to be consistently used across all platforms. Audio, input, and other features undergo a similar process, allowing for a seamless development experience.

Yoru was designed with the goal of allowing a single C# project to run smoothly across common operating systems, without requiring platform-specific code. Yoru utilises both OpenTK and .NET Maui to provide native support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, and bridges platform-specific commands to a global interface for straightforward development.

The following platforms are (planned to be) supported by Yoru:

• Windows 10+
• macOS 10.12+
• Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.)
• iOS 11+
• Android 5.0+

You may encounter missing library issues on Linux, usually for fontconfig. You should be able to find the development package for your distribution, otherwise you may use the following commands:

sudo apt install libfontconfig-dev

sudo pacman -S fontconfig

sudo dnf install fontconfig-devel
