🔗 Useful MonoGame Related Links U-MG-RL

Well to be honest I did not think the title would actually contain URL, only noticed it after typing it out haha

So I figured a lot of users - especially newcomers - ask for tutorials as someone did recently but that is not what sparked this thread, it was one of my now not so… just read the copied post below from my GCT post…

While doing my now not so regular system backups and refreshes - though this one is called for - I came across a link in my favourites that was a bit too long for copying - though my account will back it up so I am not worried - and thought hmm interesting, it might interest people on here, so here you go…

Happy New Year All…

I believe this is her profile and might explain why she no longer posted stuff after 2013 https://www.linkedin.com/in/taraewalker

Found here ✔ ☕ General Conversation Thread - #130 by MrValentine

So why not have a thread here which can both be useful as a central link reference so everyone can post any useful content here and also for people documenting MonoGame and dealing with the MonoGame documentation to find the best links to include in the documentation pages…

I believe I have started this off so when I find more I will add them here, as should you!

CODE ON!

OOOH found another link in my favourites history

Go here
http://monogame.codeplex.com/

… and click where it says:

Change History (all pages)

… and scroll to the bottom and work your way up, clicking Page links each time, then hit the back button or BackSpace key on your keyboard to go back and click the next link! notice that some have further links such as the Documentation pages, some good gems in those pages! worth a read!

For example, check out this list of games:
http://monogame.codeplex.com/wikipage?version=161

Which features handy YouTube video links too! XNA related but still relevant

You can find some pages showing release history of various games too…

I highly recommend any serious coder who wants to utilise and learn how MonoGame has developed over the years to take a look!

Thanks for reading…
