Ruminate - is it dead?

1

There doesn’t seem to have been any activity on it for almost two years.

Has the author moved on?

2

Unfortunately that does happen a lot with smaller open source, and even closed source, projects.

Indeed. However, at least with Open Source, other can work on it. I posted the question because I’m wanting to "fork"it - the quotes are because I’m planning on putting it onto GitHub rather than CodePlex.

as far as i can tell, it doesnt really seem to have bugs with the newer monogame(though i havent gotten to test it so thoroughly with 3.5) just a couple features here and there would be nice to be added… so its still usable i wouldnt say its dead.

I meant dead as in the original author was no longer around. I’ve built it against 3.5.1 and also downloaded the sample project and built that - it all pretty much works as-is. I had spent some time looking at integrating XAML + MonoGame for UI but on balance some sort of UI framework seems a better bet.

What sort of features are you looking for?

If you still want to try XAML + MonoGame, you can test Empty Keys UI - http://emptykeys.com
It’s custom XAML based UI framework with all cool features like in WPF with MVVM.

Looks like he moved that repo over to github awhile ago:

Good Find! Thanks for that I’ll fork it from there - makes it easier and gives him visibility of what I’ve done.

Thanks for that - I’ll take a look. Downloading examples now…
