PacMan MonoGame Cross-Platform Project

This is a modernized, cross-platform MonoGame 3.8.* implementation of Pac-Man, supporting Windows, DesktopGL, Android, and iOS. Shared game logic is in /Core, with platform-specific entry points in /Platforms.

Building

Prerequisites

  • .NET 8.0 SDK or newer
  • MonoGame 3.8.* (NuGet packages are referenced automatically)
  • For Android/iOS: Xamarin/MAUI workloads and platform SDKs

Build Commands

  • Windows: 
    dotnet build Platforms/Windows/PacMan.Windows.csproj
  • DesktopGL: 
    dotnet build Platforms/DesktopGL/PacMan.DesktopGL.csproj
  • Android: 
    dotnet build Platforms/Android/PacMan.Android.csproj
  • iOS: 
    dotnet build Platforms/iOS/PacMan.iOS.csproj

Running

  • Windows: 
    dotnet run --project Platforms/Windows/PacMan.Windows.csproj
  • DesktopGL: 
    dotnet run --project Platforms/DesktopGL/PacMan.DesktopGL.csproj

Content

  • This project currently uses pre-built .xnb files in the Content/ directory. The Content.mgcb file has not been updated yet.
  • If you add new assets, you must build them to .xnb format using the MonoGame Pipeline Tool.

Troubleshooting

  • If you see errors about missing content (e.g., Content/Audio/YEPAudio.xgs), ensure the Content/ directory is copied to the output directory for each platform. You may need to update your .csproj files to copy the Content folder on build.
  • For Android/iOS, ensure you have the correct SDKs and emulators installed.

Platform Notes

  • Windows and DesktopGL are the best-supported for desktop development and debugging.
  • Android/iOS require additional setup and are best built/deployed from Visual Studio or with the appropriate workloads installed.

Enjoy Pac-Man on your favorite platform!
