MonoGame.Samples/ChaseAndEvade

ChaseAndEvade MonoGame Sample

This project demonstrates simple chase, evade, and wander AI behaviors using MonoGame 3.8.* and .NET 8.0. It is organized for cross-platform development with a clean separation between shared game logic and platform-specific code.

Directory Structure

• /Core — Shared game logic and main game class (ChaseAndEvadeGame)
• /Platforms/Windows — Windows-specific entry point and project
• /Platforms/Desktop — DesktopGL (cross-platform desktop) entry point and project
• /Platforms/Android — Android entry point, manifest, and project
• /Platforms/iOS — iOS entry point, Info.plist, and project
• /Content — Prebuilt .xnb content files used directly by the game

Building and Running

Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 SDK
• MonoGame 3.8.* (NuGet packages are referenced automatically)
• Visual Studio 2022+ or VSCode (with C# Dev Kit recommended)

Windows

1. Open ChaseAndEvade.sln in Visual Studio, or use VSCode.
2. Build and run the ChaseAndEvade.Windows project.

DesktopGL

1. Open ChaseAndEvade.sln or use VSCode.
2. Build and run the ChaseAndEvade.DesktopGL project.

Android

1. Open ChaseAndEvade.sln in Visual Studio (with Xamarin/MAUI workload).
2. Build and deploy the ChaseAndEvade.Android project to an emulator or device.

iOS

1. Open ChaseAndEvade.sln in Visual Studio for Mac or Windows (with Xamarin/MAUI workload and Mac build agent).
2. Build and deploy the ChaseAndEvade.iOS project.

Notes

• All shared code is in the Core project and referenced by each platform.
• Platform-specific entry points are in their respective directories.
• The game uses prebuilt .xnb files in the Content directory; no Content.mgcb is required.

VSCode Tasks and Launch
