ExEn Helps Developers Port Xbox 360 Games to iOS

Posted June 24, 2011 at 8:59am by
Andrew Russell, a game developer from Australia, has released the first public preview of ExEn, his port of XNA to iOS, Silverlight, and Android. XNA is a game development framework from Microsoft that runs on Windows, Xbox 360 and Windows Phone.

XNA is a great library – but I also want to make iPhone and web games! I'd heard about libraries like XnaTouch and SilverSprite that claimed to make this possible. But when it came time to use them I found they were very slow and buggy.


So I rewrote them, and the result is ExEn. A high performance XNA implementation for iPhone and Silverlight, specifically designed to allow a game to be written once and run on multiple platforms.


The first preview of ExEn doesn't include Android support yet; however, Russell says that is coming soon.
