Browser platformer

[Genaga]

Well I'm a c# developer loving XNA and people always moan about not being able to use in web browser. I looked at silversprite a while ago and got it working the other day and started working on a game type i have done once before but wasn't too good in my opinion.

So via silverlight + silversprite

I am looking on what to do next, thinking a simple main menu, scrolling levels, coins/rings/levelup etc and then probably game specific things like power ups.




(Sorry its not much i always like to tell people about what I'm doing to keep myself motivated

wow this is very kewl.

I have been looking into silverlight a little but I had not seen silversprite yet. I will check it out. Good luck on this, I am anxious to see more.

Well silversprite is essentially just a library with pretty much the exact same functions and methods as XNA, so if you are familiar with XNA you can pretty much use the exact same code to recreate it for a browser It does have one bug i noticed but a try{}catch{} fixed it.

ah thats very kewl. I am going to have to look into it further. Makes my rpg engine seem outdated then

Nice screenie! Is it portable between formats, like flash is?

Silverlight is currently available on Windows and Mac for PC's, there is also a linux port called Moonlight.

There is also a beta for Symbian S60. (Used on all nokia smartphones and from some more manufacturers.)
And silverlight will also work on new Windows Phone 7 that is being released this autumn.
And finally, as you use XNA for silversprite, you can use the same code to run it on the Xbox-360.

That is quite alot of platforms

And also the zune (but who has one of them? )

This project is more than likely cancelled as I used it as my first browser thing and It was done quite badly even though I love doing platformers and it would have been harder to progress without a recode which I couldn't be bothered doing.

Working on and off on a MMORPG at the moment in the same way targetted for people on phones and at work(so short fun quests) with some decent long quests too. Sounds fun
