Silverlight Game Programming Tutorial - Input and Adding Game Elements

Matthew Casperson had two more posts earlier, but I wanted to get the 'Cream post out and was heavy already so I saved Parts 2 and 3. This one is on creating the objects and getting them moving around then Part 3 is Silverlight Game Programming Tutorial - Collision Detection... stand by for more:)

I found this by way of, and it's a great Silverlight Charts Styling Guide and flowchart by Mehdi Slaoui Andaloussi, who you'll hear more of on this blog!

Tim Heuer talks about the WPF Toolkit release and does some WPF/Silverlight code compatibility things and while it's not all that bad, it's good to have Tim out there ahead of us!

Dan Wahlin has been suffering in 'Vegas and has the Silverlight Workshop materials on his blog for our pleasure.

Dave Britton gave a Silverlight presentation at Silicon Valley Code Camp 2008 and has all his materials on his blog.

Jordan Knight has a couple things going in here... he's talking about using the Model View-View Model pattern by John Grossman John Gossman -- check out the link on Jordan's blog.. then goes on to describe how he got around an issue with events.

Gerard Leblanc keeps whittling away at the different types of menus... this is very cool. I've used the flash equivalent of this, and figured someone would do it... very nice job, Gerard!

I had not blogged the control because it wasn't really available, or I didn't think so. Today Azret Botash has a very nice breakdown of how to customize it, so I figured it was time to mention it!

Tip:Changing background of AutoCompleteBox

Lee gives us a good tip on changing the background of the AutoCompleteBox.. a hint... it involves the Template.

Stay in the 'Light!
