Building and Running

Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 SDK or newer
• MonoGame 3.8.* NuGet packages (restored automatically)
• Visual Studio 2022+ or VS Code
• For Android/iOS: Xamarin/MAUI workloads and platform SDKs

Windows & DesktopGL

Content

• No Content.mgcb file is used. Precompiled .xnb files are copied to the output directory for each platform.
• Update content paths in the platform .csproj files if you add or move assets.

Notes

• Windows and DesktopGL are fully supported and tested.
• Android and iOS projects are included but may require additional setup or MonoGame compatibility fixes for .NET 8.0.
