MonoGame represents a free (Open Source) implementation of the popular game framework Microsoft XNA.
The game framework Microsoft XNA closed in 2012.
In 2013, the game framework Monogame became a continuation of Microsoft XNA.

MonoGame is an implementation of the game framework Microsoft XNA using OpenGL.
When creating a game on MonoGame, the code is written in C#.
C# is compiled into intermediate code (special bytecode CIL).
A virtual machine is used to execute CIL code, as well as work with platform functions and OpenGL functions.
In Windows, the virtual machine is .NET.
In Linux, iOS, Android and game consoles, the virtual machine is Mono.

You can develop the game in the operating system Windows, compile and the output file will work on different platforms (iOS, Android, Windows) and others.
