How easy is Monogame for a beginner coming from game engines?

  A collection of interesting libraries/tools for Monogame based game projects

I don't have anything to add to Ignatus other than a GitHub repo filled with resources that can help you out.

• VelcroPhysics

  3 649 1.8 C#

  High performance 2D collision detection system with realistic physics responses.

MonoGame abstracts a lot of the rendering work and is easy to use for 2D games (I haven't tested its 3D support so far). It also provides you with a content pipeline plus audio and input handlers. All that's left for you to do is roll your own Entity Component System, physics, and game logic. If you're not interested in writing your own physics, there are libraries out there already. Additionally, if you don't want to get caught up in the details of data serialization, Json.NET is a great package for serializing data in JSON format. That makes it perfect when paired with a map editor such as Tiled, which can export to JSON.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

• Nez

  19 1,715 7.1 C#

  Nez is a free 2D focused framework that works with MonoGame and FNA

Monogame has a good number of libraries, ranging from utility and QOL stuff all the way up to something like Nez, a huge library completely reworks how Monogame works.

• MonoGame.Extended

  6 1,365 8.6 C#

  Extensions to make MonoGame more awesome
