Port XNA to Silverlight and iOS

Port XNA to Silverlight and iOS

ExEn, an open-source project, can port XNA to Silverlight and iOS. Developed by Andrew Russell, a game developer and software engineer from Australia, ExEn is crowd funded. So far, project has risen over $10,000 from the users world-wide.

From the website:

What is ExEn?

Currently ExEn is an implementation of a subset of the Microsoft XNA Framework API that runs on iPhone and Silverlight. It is based on XnaTouch and SilverSprite – but most of the important bits have been rewritten – most importantly the rendering, audio, input and timing systems.

Here is what is currently supported:

• Everything needed to make a 2D game
• SpriteBatch for high performance sprite graphics and text rendering
• Music and SoundEffect for audio
• Mouse input on all platforms
• Keyboard on Silverlight
• The Game and GameComponent system
• The ContentManager class for supported types
• The Maths types and various miscellanea

Here's what I plan to add as part of this project:

• An Android Port
• On-Screen Keyboard support for text-entry on mobile devices
• Switching from XNA 3.1 to XNA 4.0
• Write documentation
• Fix a few minor bugs and missing features
• Open source it!
