CocosSharp: Xamarin Forks Cocos2D-XNA

"Xamarin has forked Cocos2D-XNA, a 2D/3D game development framework, creating a cross-platform library that can be included in PCL projects.

Xamarin has decided to stop contributing to Cocos2D-XNA, forking instead the framework and creating a new library called CocosSharp which is open sourced on GitHub under a MIT license. For the beginning, Xamarin has refactored the source code in order to create “an idiomatic version of Cocos2D for the .NET environment.”
