[PAID BOUNTY][LOCKED] A shared base for public and console repos

[harry-cpp]

MonoGame needs a new base that can be used between public and private console repos.

📃Full details

MonoGame provides console ports of itself in private repos, all you need to do to access it is to be a registered developer for the correct platform. They are in private repos because of the console NDAs.

In order to make the work between the public and private repos less separate, we wanted to move MonoGame to a new system where there will be one C# MonoGame.Framework.dll assembly that can be used for both. It would containt only the C# wrapper calls to our custom monogameframework native library, then we could switch out the native library depending on the platform you are targeting.

📦 Expected delivery content

• MonoGame.Frameowk.Native C# project
  • All C# Stubs need to be fully filled with wrapper calls to monogameframework
  • A generator needs to be writted to export all the wrappers to header files that need to be filled using reflection
  • Needs to be hooked up to the tests and passing non graphics / audio tests
• monogameframework native library
  • This library needs to contain exposed methods for all the platform call MonoGame does
  • All platform calls need to be fully implemented (Windowing + Input, using SDL)
  • Vulkan code needs to be moved from the private MonoGame repo
    • All graphics calls need to be fully hooked up, it does not need to be fully working
  • No audio call should be implemented, we are planing on using FAudio and a relavent bounty for it will be released at future time
• Both projects need to be fully hooked up to the CAKE Frosting build system
