LionFire.Stride.Ultralight (with Blazor Server)
I have .NET 5.0 + Blazor Server + Ultralig.ht working as a proof of concept inside Stride (stride3d.net) game engine on Windows. This repo doesn't have a complete working example (feel free to create one) but contains some key files and this README refers you to more detailed info.
Working:
- Transparency
- Mouse clicks (left-click only)
- Toggle the ultralight browser visibility on/off with F10 key (perhaps useful for a debug UI)
- Auto-reload via Livesharp (not a free product), a bit crude
Partially working:
- colors in Ultralight are a little bit off. I'm not sure how perfect of a match to expect.
- Keyboard input
TODO:
- Pass through clicks on transparent areas of the browser window to the 3D world
- GPU renderer for ultralight -- is this possible?
- Scroll input
- Middle and right mouse clicks: it looks like these will require changes to Stride's input code, which currently only passes left clicks up to the Stride UI's ImageElement touch events.
- Require a cookie / auth token to be sent via HTTP when talking to Blazor Server, so that only the Stride Game process can talk to its in-process web server.

Here's my customized C# file that supports Microsoft.Extensions.Logging and Mouse/Keyboard Input: UltralightUIScript.cs

Stride UI fix
By default, as of now, Stride's postproessing effects are applied to the UI, which makes it look bad. Refer to here for the full scoop: https://github.com/herocrab/StrideCleanUI
In short:
- Set UI to render to group 31
- Rework your compositor (I included my compositor asset FWIW: GraphicsCompositor.sdgfxcomp)
Hosting ASP.NET Core (Blazor Server) alongside Stride
- Create an ASP.NET Core application (.NET 5.0)
- In your
ConfigureServices(IServicesCollection services)method, doservices.AddHostedService<StrideGameService>();
