- Open AL not supported on android yet. \n

- We have to use the XNA framework to generate xnb files. But we can load png/jpeg etc directly.\n\nCannot play against xbox games. \n
- Even old Samples such as Vector Rumble. \n\nSamples just show how to do certain things using XNA. \n \nStarter Packs are complete games .\n\n\n\nNetrumble working on Windows/MacOSX and Linux. almost working on Android and\n \nsdfsdf \n \nStart \n \nStartiOS. \n
