MonoGame is an open source implementation of the Microsoft XNA 4.x Framework.
Our goal is to make it easy for XNA developers to create cross-platform games with extremely high code reuse.
- iOS (including Retina displays)
- Android
- Windows (OpenGL & DirectX)
- Mac OS X
- Linux
- Windows Store Apps (for Windows 8 and Windows RT)
- Windows Phone 8
- PlayStation Mobile (currently 2D only)
- OUYA, an Android-based gaming console
There are a few pre-requisites that you should be aware of for the various platforms. Please check them over MonoGame website.
There are four quick start options available:
- Download the current stable release from our website.
- Download the latest "unstable" installer from our build server.
- Download the latest source code.
- Fork and clone the repo:
https://github.com/mono/MonoGame.git.
The solution and project files are generated by Protobuild when you double-click Protobuild.exe on Windows or run mono Protobuild.exe under Mac OS or Linux. To modify the projects you must edit the .definition file in the Build/Projects/ folder and re-execute Protobuild.
For more information and advanced usage, please refer to the Protobuild wiki.
Once you have MonoGame, grab the MonoGame StarterKits or MonoGame Samples to help get you started on your first project.
