Nez

Introduction

Nez is a framework which adds additional functionality on top of MonoGame and FNA. Gum can be used with Nez since Nez ultimately exposes the MonoGame/FNA GraphicsDevice. Aside from setup, using Gum in Nez is identical to using Gum in any MonoGame project. Therefore, after setup you can reference the MonoGame section for usage details.

Creating a New Project

Nez projects use a game class which must inherit from Nez Core. This class ultimately inherits from the standard MonoGame Game class, so you can include overrides for Update and Draw just like any standard MonoGame project.

A typical empty Nez game may look like is shown in the following code snippet:

public class Game1 : Core
{
    protected override void Initialize()
    {
        base.Initialize();

        Scene = new BasicScene();
    }

    protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        base.Update(gameTime);
    }

    protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        base.Draw(gameTime);
    }
}

Next, you can begin adding Gum to your project. For more information see the Adding/Initializing Gum page.
