MonoGame is an OpenSource implementation of Microsoft's XNA 4 APIs that allows developers to build games that run on Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation Mobile (2D only), Windows 8 Store, Windows Phone 8, and OUYA, while reusing their existing XNA code that runs on Windows, Xbox 360, or Windows Phone 7. It supports both OpenGL and DirectX rendering.

Recent versions of MonoGame includes a bundled content pipeline. This eliminates the need to use the XNA 4 Content Pipeline, which is not available for all platforms. The new MonoGame pipeline allows for management of assets completely independent of XNA.
