Silverlight Pong Source code is now Available

Henry — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 03:46:29 +0000

After finally getting my hands on a Windows development computer, I’ve gone through all the code from my Pong clone made in Silverlight and made sure that is release worthy (fixing errors from the switch from SL2-b2 — I had somehow lost the original SL2-release code; and making sure there was no bad language, etc. ), and have put it up on my server.

The code can be found at: Silverlight Pong source. Consider it released to the public domain.

I can’t guarantee the code is great (in fact, there was a bunch of things I thought could have been done better while browsing it today), so if you have some feedback on it, feel free to comment here.

A couple months back I finally got around to purchasing some web hosting, and while I’m yet to build a nice, full site, I figured I’d show off a little project I made in Silverlight/C#.

I present: Pong in Silverlight

Update: I have now updated the game to work with the recently released Silverlight 2.

I found this wonderful little game over two weeks ago through one of Psychochild’s posts on simplification in games. After forgetting about it, I’m now reminded of it today through a post on GameSetWatch.

Seeing as it’s quite fitting for this time of year (and so it’s here for safekeeping), here is:

That’s right folks, my flatmate Bob has just released glChess 1.0:

Be sure to give him congrats for a game well done, and to keep up with glChess news check out his development blog.

Bob and I went down to the mall this evening to grab some supplies, and to my surprise there was a big ol’ Wii display just as you walk in.

Suffice to say, it definitely clinched it for me. Was already planning on getting one, but after seeing it in the flesh – christ it’s tiny! – and watching people play with it…

The graphics were good – not PS3 GOOOD – but good enough to not need to dig your eyes out with a spoon, or to not make it difficult to imagine that things are as the games says they are.

All in all, looked VERY awesome, and if you want to have lots of fun this xmas, go with a Wii!
