Silverlight

April 27th, 2009

There was a prize to win and I had to try. I decided to give Silverlight a shot. I attempted to port my tank game. After some research, there was an appealing physics library and I got hands on.

Today, 4 days to the deadline I decided to pursue other projects.

I got a fairly good glance at the Microsoft approach to Flash and although interesting doesn’t appeal enough to me. Although the Microsoft surface is a good incentive, the low penetration of the plugin, the higher complexity compared to Flash and the tools were major turn downs.

Last weekend I attended the SF Game Jam.

Here are two pictures of the games I developed. Not bad for one-man team in 24 hours, aren’t they?

Note: You will need to install the Wild Pockets plugin to play from your browser.
