Silverlight 2.0 update for Tribute to Ant Attack

I've updated my Tribute to Ant Attack for Silverlight 2.0 beta. Did some cleanup, but no new features were created this time.

Manic Miner - theme for Nokia 6230i

I'm probably too old to play with themes on my mobile phone, but old enough to remember good old Manic Miner in days of its greatest glory.



I've spent some time to put the theme together, so you can download it and enjoy it too! I was unable to set icon for Push to talk, does anybody know which item_id to use ?

Editor: S40 Series Studio 1.2
Format: .NTH is renamed zip file, with images and XML inside. To animate gif files they need to be in correct resolution, 208x208 for whole screen and 196x115 for icons for N6230i.

Update for SL 1.1A refresh

I've updated my demo for SL 1.1A refresh. There are also small fixes.

Tribute to Ant Attack

To learn Silverligt and have some fun I reused idea of Ant Attack. I was completely new to both SL and XAML and managed to learn basics during few nights. I implemented 3d view using transparent .png of cube. I know this is not rocket science, but it works. I have lot of ideas where to improve it, but most funny task would be add ants and implement their AI in Python, so you will be able to change AI script as an user. Anyone interested ?

Lesons learned:

1. SL 1.1alpha supports transparency only in 24bit color + 8 bit alpha format. It could be converted in Blend
2. ZIndex is slooow, use Remove() and Insert() methods on Children[] collection instead
3. DoubleAnimation will stop animation on some non-integer number, so my pixelized cubes will be blured by antialiasing. Not nice.
