Windows store app game

Question

I want to create simple 2D game (touch/click to win) and I have experience with C# and XNA for WP7.

But now at W8 there isn't XNA afaik.

What technologies I have to use for this game? I want to run it on desktop W8 and WinRT.

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

If the game is simple enough graphically - you could just use Silverlight on Windows Phone and XAML on Windows 8 which would let you share a lot of the code. Another option is to use XNA on Windows Phone and MonoGame on Windows 8. MonoGame is an open source version of XNA. Otherwise - on Windows you can use DirectX with C++ or using SharpDX with C#, but these are not available on WP7. They will probably be on WP8 only. Finally - Unity3D support is coming soon, but the final version is not available yet.
