General

• MonoGame - - Source code for the framework and its tools.
• FNA - - Desktop unique reimplementation of XNA 4.0 apis. It can be used to build desktop versions and be sure to have the same behavior on all platforms.
• DigitalRune - - .NET libraries for developing 3D games with XNA and MonoGame

Engines

• Nez - - Source code for the framework and the tools.
• Monocle - Framework created and maintained by @MaddyThorson for their games (Towerfall, Celeste, ...).
• MonoGame.Extended - - A collection of classes and extensions to make it easier to make games with MonoGame.
• CocosSharp - - CocosSharp is a C# implementation of the Cocos2D and Cocos3D APIs that runs on any platform where MonoGame runs.
• Protogame - - Protogame is an open source game engine (MIT licensed) written on top of MonoGame and C#, designed to allow game developers to rapidly produce games within 48 hours.
• Gem - - A cross-platform game engine with GUI and multiplayer support using MonoGame, Farseer and Lidgren.
• Aether Engine - - A lightweight, modular game engine.
• Corund - - An engine for 2D mobile games.
• Simplex Engine - - Free alternative to Game Maker Studio 2, porting and flavoring GML to C#, running on MonoGame.
• Monofoxe - - A game engine greatly inspired by Game Maker. It makes game development in Monogame way easier and faster without removing low-level access to the framework.
• FlatRedBall - A game development platform, built in C#, that's perfect for indies or big studios! Built on top of MonoGame.

Tiles

• TiledSharp - - C# library for parsing and importing TMX and TSX files generated by Tiled, a tile map generation tool.
• TiledLib.Net - - Cross-platform Tiled map parsing utilities.

Animations

• SpriterDotNet - - A simple, fast and efficient Spriter implementation in pure C#.
• Spine - - 2D skeletal animation runtimes for Spine.
• Aether.Animation - - GPU & CPU Skinned animation for 3D models.
• Spritesheet - - Simple helper for creating sprite based animations.

Audio

• MonoGame.WpfCore - - MonoGame embedded inside a WPF app as a dotnet new template.

Physics

• Farseer - Original physics engine with a collision detection system with realistic physics responses built for XNA.
• Farseer.Portable - - Farseer Physics compiled as a portable class library (PCL) against the PCL version of MonoGame.
• Jitter - - A maintained fork of the Jitter physics engine, which is used in Protogame.
• Humper - - Collision detection for Axis-Aligned-Bounding-Boxes (aka AABB) in C#.
• Aether.Physics2D - - A 2D Physics simulation and collision detection system for MonoGame. Fork of the Farseer Physics Engine.
• BEPUphysics - Pure C# 3D real time physics simulation library. (With MonoGame examples)
• VolatilePhysics - A 2D Physics Library for Networked Games
• VelcroPhysics - High performance 2D collision detection system with realistic physics responses. (Ex-Farseer)
• BulletSharp - NET wrapper for the Bullet physics library.

Artificial Intelligence

• A-Pathfinding-and-movement-system-demo - - A* pathfinding and movement system in C# and MonoGame taken from the Vault-Tech engine
• AStar - - A* Star Pathfinding Search Algorithm in C#.
• Roy-T AStar - - A 2D path finding library based on the A* algorithm for .NETStandard 1.0 and .Net 4.5 and higher. This library has no external dependencies.
• BrainAI - - A library with different helpers to write AI (Utility AI, machinestate, goap,behaviortree), pathfinding(A＊, Dejkstra, BFS) and influence map. This library has no external dependencies.
