It provides a powerful editor to help you organize your projects. At runtime, the FlatRedBall engine provides efficiency, stability, and features which have been refined for over two decades.
The FlatRedBall Engine utilizes the C# programming language, operating on the full version of .NET for uncompromised access to modern language features and all NuGet packages.
