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...

I think it was one of the 1st games that had destroyable environments. At some point I'd like to enhance this 2D platformer starter kit to be like Aztec www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLhj...

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

I've also been working on getting simple, LAN networking....working :). The XNA API mostly stays the same, but it uses modern Task & is all .NET. Create, Find & Joining a session on your LAN works. github.com/CartBlanche/... . This might become it's own repo at some point. 1/3

Didn't catch our AMA last Wednesday, then you missed Tom showing off what's possible with MonoGame and 3D today! This will become the foundation of an upcoming StartKit to encourage more people to use MonoGame for their 3D games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=se5t... (watch it in HD :) ).

Also part of last Wednesday's Open Hours was Tom showing Ascent's built in level editor. This allows for editing and testing the levels as you're flying around, for a really quick level design iteration loop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX1z... (watch it in HD, if you can 🙂 ). #MonoGame

I think Bsky is gaining momentum in the game dev community. It will take time, but it's definitely growing and it seems fast.

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?
