Installation

The purpose of this document is to provide the instructions for installing the MonoGame.Aseprite library for your FNA game project.

Prerequisites

• FNA Development Environment Setup

Downloading

To use Monogame.Aseprite with FNA, you will need to clone the source and it's dependency on AsepriteDotNet to reference in your game project. These should both be added as siblings in the directory where you have the FNA cloned too.

You can clone them both with the following commands

git clone https://github.com/AristurtleDev/monogame-aseprite.git
git clone https://github.com/AristurtleDev/AsepriteDotNet.git

Reference In Your Game Project

Once you have cloned both repositories as shown, you just need to add a reference to monogame-aseprite\source\MonoGame.Aseprite\MonoGame.Aseprite.FNA.csproj in your game csproj file. For example

<ItemGroup>
    <!-- You should already have the FNA project reference -->
    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\FNA\FNA.Core.csproj" />

    <!-- Add the MonoGame.Aseprite.FNA.csproj reference as well -->
    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\monogame-aseprite\source\MonoGame.Aseprite\MonoGame.Aseprite.FNA.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>
