> > Does it have any GPU acceleration Not 100% sure. I haven't used Monogame but I assume this would be hardware accelerated. There's also OpenTK (http://www.opentk.com/) which is somewhat similar - A cross-platform wrapper around OpenGL.
local file system access? Yes - The System.IO <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.aspx>namespace handles this Can we grab raw mouse position data to write gesture systems? Yes - With a Windows Forms application, you can use Control.MousePosition<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.mouseposition.aspx>to get the mouse position. I haven't tried this with Mono before, but I assume it'd work. There's be similar APIs available for GTK# or OpenGL (should be available in whichever OpenGL wrapper you use).
