That's great, thanks.

Hello, I am making a simple 2D game, in which I have the following class :   public class Monster {     public Monster(int id, ContentManager contentManager) {         this.Sprite = contentManager.Load<Texture2D>(monsterDefinitions[id].GraphicalAsset);     }     public Texture2D Sprite { get; private set; } }   Of course the class ...
