I just completed the final touches on a simple Silverlight game I’d been working on last night.

The game can be found here.

The game play and rules are simple:

• Use the up and down arrows to control the angle/pitch of the small plane. (or you can control the angle using the red stick/ball on the right of the screen with a mouse).
• Use the space bar to fire the weapon.
• Don’t get hit by aliens or alien weapons.
• You lose points if you don’t destroy each alien.
• You can get extra bullets, but no extra “health”.

I’ll be posting some of the code, etc. soon.

With the exception of using Garage Band for a few sounds, I created everything using Microsoft products (Expression Design, Expression Blend, and Visual Studio 2008).

This version of the game uses Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2, as there isn’t a go-live license for the RC.
