Rin

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 10 — pinned in global.json (rollForward: latestMajor); projects target net10.0 (the two source-generator projects target net8.0 for compiler compatibility)
• Vulkan SDK
• CMake
• Python 3
• Conan (pip install conan) — used to fetch/build the native C++ dependencies
• Task — runs the native build/pack pipeline defined in Taskfile.yml

First-time setup

The managed projects pull the native libraries (Vulkan graphics backend, Miniaudio, the Slang shader compiler, etc.) as NuGet packages from a local feed (.feed/, wired up in NuGet.Config). Build and pack them once before opening the solution:

task pack-all

This builds each native module (via Conan + CMake) and dotnet packs it into .feed/. Re-run the relevant task (pack-native, pack-audio-miniaudio-native, pack-graphics-vulkan-native, pack-slang-native) whenever you change that module's C++ source.

Building

dotnet build rin.sln

Running an example

Pick any project under Examples/ (SceneTest, Sponza, AudioPlayer, ViewsTest, NodeGraphTest, RLTest, ChatApp):

dotnet run --project Examples/SceneTest/SceneTest.csproj

Or open rin.sln in Visual Studio/Rider and run an Examples project directly.

Repository layout

• Engine/ — core engine: Rin.Core, Rin.World, Rin.Graphics.Vulkan, Rin.Audio.Miniaudio, Rin.SourceGenerators
• Slang/ — managed Slang shader compiler toolchain (Rin.Slang, Rin.Slang.Compiler, Rin.Slang.Cli, ...)
• native/ — native C++ modules (Rin.Native, Rin.Audio.Miniaudio.Native, Rin.Graphics.Vulkan.Native, Rin.Slang.Native)
• Shaders/ — shared .slang shader sources
• Tools/ — Rin.Editor, RinLauncher
• Examples/ — sample/demo apps
• Experiments/ — prototype/throwaway projects
