GitHub - CartBlanche/MonoGame-Samples: All the Samples that work with MonoGame All the Samples that work with MonoGame. Contribute to CartBlanche/MonoGame-Samples development by creating an account on GitHub.

I updated my MonoGame-Samples repo so that every Monday the CI will now build all the samples. Look here - github.com/CartBlanche/...
I've not tested every single download yet.
Download, Unzip the sample, then run "dotnet [SampleName].dll" & that should be enough to see it running. #MonoGame

Not officially supported by the MG Foundation, but I've been slowly re-implementing the XNA Network API, using just .NET, rather than a 3rd part lib. Here - github.com/CartBlanche/...
There are a few samples in that repo that use it for P2P, like Catapult Wars and anything starting with Net*. HiH.

Visual feedback on how long Pi will wait at each waypoint on his journey to complete that dungeon level. Added a nice pie fill (no shaders yet) that fills as the count-down timer goes from red to green. Pi's navigation needs tweaks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7YX...

Anyone remember the old Catapult Wars game? This is a LAN network sample - youtu.be/7kzoHโ€ฆ
It also has a single player Vs (dumb) "AI" player option too.

The explosion circle, takes the initial hit in the centre, but as parts of the circle disappear, due to the explosion effect, the "space" from the explosion goes from centre to top left. Does that makes sense?
