| + | ===== The Goal ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To implement the technique of rendering at a lower resolution and then scaling up to 720x480 in MonoGame, you can use the RenderTarget2D class. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here's a step-by-step guide: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Create a Render Target:** Define a render target with your desired lower resolution (e.g., 640x480). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Render Your Scene:** Draw your game scene to the render target. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Scale and Draw to Back Buffer:** Draw the render target to the back buffer with scaling to fit the 720x480 resolution. | ||
