JankWorks is an API and framework intending to be suitable for developing games or multi-media applications similar to other frameworks such as XNA/MonoGame. JankWorks is built with C# 9.0 and only supports .NET 5 onwards. The project overall is still in development and currently only tested for Windows so mileage may vary. The aim is to be capable of small scale 2D game development with a ease into making multiplayer and potentially 3D in the future.
The JankWorks project is a API providing the basic application requirements including windowing, user input, positional audio and hardware accelerated graphics. The API is mostly abstract and supports different implementations provided by "Drivers".
The JankWorks.Game project is the framework built on top of the JankWorks API to aid in game development by providing a skeleton application and structure to build from mostly inspired by but not limited to XNA framework.
