Index of Silverligh Games

Chris Bowen’s blog have a fresh and great listing of Silverlight Games, you should know about.

Currently the listing is:

• “Dr. Popper” [source] - Burst the matching bubbles, the more, the better.
• “Digger” [source] - Sort of Dig-Dug meets Montezuma’s Revenge.
• “Zero Gravity” [no source available yet] - An addictive and well-made game! A nice example of the possibilities of the platform.
  • Tim Heuer gives some background.
• “Chess” [source] - Your basic chess, but shows how Silverlight 1.1 with .NET fares against a JavaScript-based AI.
• Central NY .NET’s own Andy Beaulieu has written two Silverlight games:
  • “Destroy All Invaders” [source] - A cool mashup with Virtual Earth where you fly over the oblique angle view of a location of your choice while shooting UFOs.
  • “Silverlight Rocks!” [source] - A shoot the asteroids game.
• “Sprawl” [source] - A good demonstration of potential with Silverlight 1.0.
• “Silverlight Maze” [no source yet]
• “Khet” [no source yet] - Requires registration to play.

Keep checking his post, as it gets updated.

Lately there is some kind of burst on making Silverlight content, specially games, and for that I really enjoy seeing that most developers choose to make their code open-source. That only makes Silverlight easier to learn, and adopt.
