## What it is
This is the archived original repository for Xenko, a free open-source C# 2D/3D game engine now renamed Stride and hosted at xenko3d/xenko. It provides a full engine with Game Studio editor, PBR rendering, VR support, and C# scripting.

## Use cases
- build 2d and 3d games in c#
- create vr applications with an open source engine
- make a game with a visual scene editor
- use a game engine for architecture or engineering visualization
- find the old xenko game engine repository

## When to choose
- you specifically need the historical Xenko codebase for reference or archaeology

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained engine - use the xenko3d/xenko (Stride) repository instead
- you need production support or recent features
- you rely on up-to-date documentation for the current version

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: game-engine, graphics, gui
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cpp, dotnet
