MonoGame is a re-implementation of Microsoft’s XNA Framework. It is a robust and flexible .NET framework designed for game developers who prefer a hands-on approach to building games. It allows developers to create games for desktop PCs, consoles, and mobile devices using C#. Unlike traditional game engines, MonoGame offers the foundational tools to build your own engine.
