Shuffleboard: A Windows Phone 7 Sample Game

Today I uploaded a Windows Phone 7 sample game to codeplex which demonstrates physics, gestures, perspective transforms, multitargeting, sound and GPU acceleration. [TRY THE GAME] [DOWNLOAD SOURCE] This Shuffleboard game was created as the basis for a Coding4Fun tutorial, which will be available soon on the C4F Website. I don't want to spoil the fun for the official tutorial release so I won't go into much detail here, but this demo should be helpful for folks wanting to quickly create physics based games for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 devices. When the tutorial is released, it will include a video walkthrough showing step-by-step creation using Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend 4. Look for updates on the release, but in the meantime here are some more resources for creating physics-based games in Silverlight: Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools Install Info (Tim Heuer) Physics Games in Silverlight on Windows Phone 7 Windows Phone 7/Silverlight Performance Windows Phone 7 Developer Portal How To: Handle Manipulation Events Forums on Silverlight.net Forums on WindowsPhone

Is Silverlight capable of a bowling game or are the 3D requirements for the pins too demanding? by the way, great work on this

I would go with XNA for anything requiring real 3D on WP7 at this point. Silverlight is limited to simple Perspective 3D transforms on 2D elements. I suppose you could try with something like Balder (http://balder.codeplex.com/) with Silverlight, but the performance would be quite less than anything XNA could do with 3D.

Now... As far as 2D stuff, I think Silverlight rocks, it has Vector Graphics, and a great design tool (Blend).

Thanks or the response Andy. Never saw Balder before but that's pretty impressive stuff.

Request for tutorial	By Anonymous on 6/10/2010 3:39 PM
Hi Andy, I have a request, we have a competition in WP7 development, bit since is there no phones yet, it would be great if you would show in a example, how do you make an emulator in browser like in this example.thanks

Yeah just download and check out the solution. If you can wait a little while, the full tutorial should be available on coding4fun.com (they are editing). But basically it's just a skin on the Web project, and the WP7 project uses linked files to share the source code with the Web project. -Andy
