Time Rule on Spline-Based Animation, Florian Krüsch with SilverGlobe, Expression Team Blog updates DeepZoom Composer, Jeff Paries releases Tank Combat, and John Gossman on WPF/SL.
From:
I was going to start working my way back in time on Tim's blog, but this is a new article from yesterday, providing a very nice-looking UI for a Spline animation Helper... I gotta tell you... his samples are pretty nice looking. There's some explanation code on the page, but the actual demo is just a demo.. no source:(
Going backward in Florian Krüsch's blog, I found this link and yikes... this is cool. I tried to do something like this just using graphics a long time ago and it gave me migraines...:)... this is seriously cool stuff and the source for this is on CodePlex!
An Update to Deep Zoom Composer
The Expression Team blog appears to have changed it's name to Expression Blend and Design Blog, but whatever they're calling themselves, they just gave us an update to the DeepZoom Composer... read all about it in their post and then download for Deeply Zooming fun:)
Silverlight Games - Tank Combat
Jeff Paries has a very nice tank combat game on his site, and you can download an html and xap file to run it local if you like... I tried it, and killed myself... hmmm... kinda like hiding your own Easter Eggs, isn't it??... fun stuff, Jeff!
Silverlight: the art of subsetting
If you're up for something more serious, check out this post by John Gossman discussing WPF and Silvelright from the standpoint of someone on the architecture team. Ok let me skip to the fun part and I quote: "...in the future, when we add Triggers into Silverlight..." I'm sure that's enough right there for all the SL folks to start the Happy Dance... enjoy!
Stay in the 'Light!
