# MoonWorks
MoonWorks is a free cross-platform game development framework. Its implementation is heavily inspired by [FNA](https://github.com/FNA-XNA/FNA), which is itself a free implementation of the Microsoft XNA API.
MoonWorks wraps native-code implementations in managed C# for clean high-level abstractions that still run fast. It's simple and it tries to stay out of your way as much as possible.
MoonWorks *does* provide the components you need to implement a functioning game: window management, input, graphics, 3D math utilities, and audio.
MoonWorks *does not* include things like a built-in physics engine, a GUI editor, or a standard rendering pipeline. My philosophy is that these decisions and tools are better made per-team or per-project.
If you don't mind learning what a vertex buffer is, this framework is for you.
## Dependencies
