Building engaging games for Android, iOS, and desktop using.NET MAUI, exploring graphics, touch input, dependency injection, testing, accessibility, and more.

Key takeaways

.NET MAUI is a cross-platform framework for building games and applications, offering a way to create games that can run on multiple platforms, including Android and iOS.
Building games in.NET MAUI involves using the graphics namespace, which provides features such as rendering, animation, and touch support.
Dependency injection is a key concept in.NET MAUI, allowing developers to easily swap out different implementations of dependency classes.
Test-driven development is important in game development, and.NET MAUI provides tools for writing tests, such as snapshot testing.
Accessibility is a crucial aspect of game development, and.NET MAUI provides features such as screen reader support and audio feedback.
Building games in.NET MAUI involves using a combination of C# and XAML, and developers can use libraries such as SkiaSharp to render graphics.
The framework provides support for touch input, gesture recognition, and accelerometer data.
Game development in.NET MAUI involves building scenes, which are collections of objects that can be animated, moved, and updated.
The Scene class in.NET MAUI provides methods for updating the scene, handling touch input, and rendering graphics.
The GraphicsView class is used to render graphics, and developers can use it to create 2D and 3D graphics.
Game development in.NET MAUI involves using animations, which can be used to create effects such as particle systems, explosions, and motion graphics.
The framework provides support for multiplayer games, allowing developers to create games that can be played with multiple players.
