MonoGame: Build, Design & Showcase Games
About this course
Build cross-platform games with MonoGame through a structured, hands-on journey from initial setup to 2D and 3D game development. You’ll begin by installing MonoGame, configuring Visual Studio, creating your first project, and organizing assets through the content pipeline. You’ll then implement smooth object movement with GameTime, manage multiple 2D objects, integrate textures, fonts, and sounds with the MonoGame Pipeline Tool, and use SpriteBatch with source and destination rectangles for precise rendering. As you progress, you’ll import 3D models, configure rendering parameters, and construct transformation matrices to rotate, animate, and project models on screen. You’ll also evaluate and experiment with MonoGame samples and open-source projects to identify practical game development best practices. Designed for beginners, aspiring indie game developers, and hobbyists, this course stands out for its clear progression from environment setup and 2D graphics to 3D programming and showcase analysis. Practical coding examples help you apply each concept as you learn. Enroll to build the skills and confidence to design, develop, and showcase your own MonoGame projects.
