Hello,

Is there any plans on updating the project to dotnet 6 and using the latest stride packages?

Its pretty cool whats possible already with what you made in the dotnet 5 version of stride So Im wondering if dotnet 6 is planned?

Thank you

This issue is to discuss how to define an additional window in stride.
Actually, we can only define the main view in Avalonia App that will be always displayed in Stride
I thought of several possibilities

Stride side

EntityComponent

An EntityComponent with parameters:

• bool Is2D
• Vector2 Size? (can be controlled from Avalonia side)
• Type WindowToRender (a dropdown field containing window classes with empty constructor)

API

Creating a Window object using Avalonia Api can be enough in a custom ScriptComponent but we will have no preview in
game studio

Avalonia side

I think Avalonia API will be enough
But we can add an extension method to help set 3D position and rotation.

feel free to any suggestion

Due to this commit in Avalonia: AvaloniaUI/Avalonia@a832d63 IStandardCursorFactory → ICursorFactory

From #6
Allowing Avalonia to use Stride as a renderer platform will unlock full of possibilities.

I track the creation of Renderer here

When Renderer is created. Some discussion about the customs operations will be needed.

To allow Avalonia to run in Stride. I need to get the configuration of Avalonia.
Actually to define the configuration. You need to define a module that will load by AvaloniaUIRenderFeature at this initialization

I don't find this method very clean
So I open to any suggestions.

I love what you've done here. It's a goldmine opportunity for better UI's inside Stride!

Here are some questions/concerns that I have before I dive deeper:

1. TODO: In your Tutorial, show some Screenshots of each step. You have 18 steps, but only 1 screenshot... Please add a dozen more, IMO. It should be easy to do as you follow your tutorial yourself. These screenshots helps the reader to know they are "doing it right". End it by showing a screenshot of the Game window that they should see after following your tutorial -- could just be a "Hello World" UI with a simple Stride Scene.

2. Question: Regarding your WindowsGame -- I love this -- windows all over the place! However, to me it looks like ONLY Avalonia (which makes it less impressive) - yet you have Stridelonia linked, in, but aren't rendering anything 3D.
   Questions: Where all CAN You render Stride inside this game? Can you render it to the main invisible window (that keeps score?) Can you render it to the "Click Me!" buttons? I want to see what Stridelonia's added-value is to this game. Currently, it just looks like a plain vanilla Avalonia game.

3. Question: Do you have a Stride-Render Surface concept implemented? (where the application is a true Avalonia App, which simply has a specialized RenderSurface that enables Stride to render to it?
   If not there already (I didn't see it in code) - Do you have any ballpark idea for how difficult this will be to implement?

====
New features I may help you develop (by stealing techniques from Urholonia (Urho.NET + Avalonia)). Urholonia is able to render Avalonia inside Urho, but also then allows you to define an Urho View3D control inside Avalonia, which then renders an Avalonia Scene! In this way, they are able to create a Game Modding Toolkit.

I want an excuse to use Stride3D instead of Urho.NET, so if we can create a modding Toolset with Stridelonia -- let's please create a Proof of concept, to prove it... OR, if it can't be done yet, I might be able to help.

I am VERY excited about what you've done here. It's, IMO, what the .NET community NEEDS, allowing an avenue for .NET apps to render to a 3D view.

From #6
Create a User Control that allows viewing Stride scene in Avalonia window.
