What is the best solution to code this view in xamarin.forms?

I'm looking for some help in order to implement a view on xamarin forms. I want to now a good practice / solution in order to have this view on Windows (Desktop):
And on Android or iOS I would like to have View 1 first, and if I click on 'Movies', then navigate to View 2.
How should I do it? create two views? If creating only one view, can I do anything similar of what I want? Thanks.
you can use Master-Detail Page to implement such an behaviour.

Drawer layout (navigation menu) in Xamarin Forms without using Master-Detail page

I'm new to Xamarin and I'm still learning and developing a cross platform app. I've found many tutorials and answers here on creating a Xamarin Forms Navigation menu using Master-Detail page. I've created one too. But I'm looking for alternatives ways to create a navigation menu without using master-detail page.
So, has anyone experimented or know how to create a navigation page without using Master-Detail page.
You could use the SlideOverKit. Its free from Xam Consulting.

Drag and drop with Xamarin forms?

Is it possible to implement dragging and dropping an element in a Xamarin Forms project? I thought this would be simple but I cant seem to find anything online about it.
Pretty light on samples for it actually. Here's a Xamarin forms list view (not by me) with dnd to get you started.

Creating a social app with games with Xamarin.Forms

I know that there are some games created with MonoGame out there. I wonder if its possible to create a Xamarin.Forms app which has some games in it. More specifically, is it possible to start an OpenGL game when the user taps a Xamarin.Forms button for example? This is possible in native iOS games so it should be possible in Xamarin but I couldn't find any info about it.
I don't know why this question is downvoted.
In Xamarin.Forms you can use OpenGLView which you can use as any other Forms view (https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/Xamarin.Forms.OpenGLView/). Please note that it only works on iOS and Android.
Mixing Forms and Native (https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master/Forms2Native). With this approach you can have native games.
