nCine VS MonoGame

ncJump source code: https://github.com/Fahien/ncJump ncJump Dev Logs: https://www.antoniocaggiano.eu/lab/ncjump-devlog/ nCine homepage: https://ncine.github.io/

I have integrated it a long time ago in my 2D game framework, you can have a look at the source code here: https://github.com/nCine/nCine

I have been coding mine for many years now. Fortunately it is still small enough that can be easily understood by one person. Have a look here: https://ncine.github.io/

It uses my 2D framework nCine, which I recently ported to Raspberry Pi. That's why there are so many supported platforms. ;)

nCine is a cross-platform 2D framework written in C++11 and scriptable with Lua that can be used for games, tools, or prototypes. I have been working on it in my spare time for more than ten years and it now works out-of-the-box on the latest version or Raspberry Pi OS!

I created this tool for game artists a while ago, with the hope of selling it and start an independent company about game development, tools, and game technology.

Unfortunately, it sold pretty much nothing so I'm back to the game industry as an employee while I decided to make it FOSS. :D

It is written in C++ using my game framework nCine (https://ncine.github.io/) and ImGui, and it supports multiple platforms, like PC, Android, and the web.

Devlogs as a GitHub discussion

If you would like to know more about my project, or the engine I am using, you can start from this GitHub discussion.

To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

Yes, it is possible, but you need to use a game framework not a game engine.

Example of a game framework: http://www.monogame.net.

Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame

Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.

Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew Valley and Celeste.

Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).
