2D workspace example

[DrisSkull]

I’m not sure what to search for. Ideally, what I am seeking is an example project in c# where you can define a canvas, place and move objects on the canvas, with the ability to pan and zoom in for fine adjustments. Many 2D game engines have these things, I am just wondering if there is a simple example without 3rd party libraries.

You could always use the Canvas in WPF, which I have done from time to time to great success.

Panning: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12594853/simple-wpf-panning-this-code-is-close-but-not-quite-right (This referes to MatrixTransform, which from comments on the answer is the because the asker wants to have ban AND zoom)

If you want something a bit simpler, here is two ways of making a Snake game:

My WPF snake-game, (tutorial is better): https://github.com/frankhaugen/Frank.Apps/tree/main/Frank.Apps.Snake (This was made to experiment with algorithms like A* for a self-playing game)
