One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.
MonoGame
MonoGame is a simple and powerful .NET framework for creating games for desktop PCs, video game consoles, and mobile devices using the C# programming language. It has been successfully used to create games such as Streets of Rage 4, Carrion, Celeste, Stardew Valley, and many others.
It is an open-source re-implementation of the discontinued Microsoft's XNA Framework.
Build Status
We use GitHub Actions to automate builds and packages distribution of the latest MonoGame changes. We also rely on a build server to run tests in order to avoid regressions. The table below shows the current build status for the develop
branch.
