MonoGame.Samples/UseCustomVertex

UseCustomVertex MonoGame Sample

This project demonstrates the use of custom vertex types in MonoGame 3.8.* across multiple platforms.

Supported Platforms

• Windows (DirectX)
• DesktopGL
• Android
• iOS

Project Structure

• Core/ — Shared game logic, custom vertex types, and assets
• Core/Content/ — Pre-built .xnb and image assets (used directly, no Content.mgcb)
• Platforms/Windows/ — Windows-specific entry point (Program.cs) and project
• Platforms/DesktopGL/ — DesktopGL-specific entry point (Program.cs) and project
• Platforms/Android/ — Android-specific entry point (MainActivity.cs), manifest, and project
• Platforms/iOS/ — iOS-specific entry point (Program.cs), Info.plist, and project

All platform projects reference the shared code in Core/. Platform-specific code and entry points are isolated in their respective directories.
