Some days ago a submitted my "PopTheBubble" game to Silverlight.net. I thought it would be a great source of inspiration, as this game is the outcome of a hands-on-lab tutorial from silverlight.net.

At the moment you can see it in the Silverlight.net Gallery  

This has been my first "learning" project, both for learning Silverlight 2 but also learning alittle about game development in Silverlight 2. Learning/getting started projects like this normally doesn't have the most sweet code and structure, which is why I haven't published the source code for it.

I got my first “game” finished today. I added a WebService to the project, to save scores in an XML file. As this is my first Silverlight project, it is very bad/ugly coded and structured, which is why I won’t publish the source code for this.

 

Gameplay 

The gameplay is very simple. You need to pop (by moving the needle into the bubble) as many bubbles as you can within 30 seconds. You don’t need to click to pop the bubble, just move the mouse(needle) over it. 

Play! 

To run silverlight applications on your host, you need to setup two MIME-Types:

Extension: .xap
Content Type: application/x-silverlight-app

Extension: .xaml
Content Type: application/xaml+xml

– Enjoy!
