MonoGame is a free and open source implementation of Microsoft XNA. It's goal is to make it easy for developers to create cross-platform .NET games with extremely high code reuse.
MonoGame brings better and consistent game development tools to multi-platform game developers.[3] MonoGame can be run on many software systems including Android (and most other Linux distributions), BSD, iOS, OS X, Windows, Windows Phone 8, and some for game consoles such as PlayStation Mobile and Ouya.
The logo of MonoGame is a stylized variation of the Mono logo with a brain connected to three devices, each representing one of the mobile device platforms supported by MonoGame.

Dependencies
MonoGame consists of the following dependencies:
- OpenTK
- SharpDX
- Lidgren.Network
OpenTK is an advanced, low-level C# library that wraps OpenGL, OpenCL and OpenAL. It is suitable for games, scientific applications and any other project that requires 3d graphics, audio or compute functionality. OpenTK is what allows MonoGame run on many non-microsoft platforms including Linux and MacOS.
SharpDX is an open-source wrapper delivering the full DirectX API under the .NET platform, allowing the development of high performance games, 2D and 3D graphics rendering as well as realtime sound application. SharpDX is used to provide a DirectX11 back end for Windows Desktop, and Windows Phone.
Lidgren.Network is a networking library for the .NET Framework which uses a single udp socket to deliver a simple API for connecting a client to a server, reading and sending messages.
