My Mix09 10k Contest Entry Is Live – Spin And Win

Inspired by Mix09 being held in Las Vegas the logical choice of entry was a slot machine game. So my Silverlight entry Spin & Win was created.

You can play the game online at the Mix09 Site and information about the game is linked within the game and is also available from my Mix09 10k Information/Help page.

Keeping the entry inside the 10k limit was a definite challenge. Overall it was a great process, diving deeper into creating a Silverlight game encompassing a whole range of factors to create the final product:

• Animation of controls to create visual effects.
• Coding optimisation techniques to minimise the size of the code.
• Dynamically loading controls and components.
• External links from the application e.g. Social bookmarks and Information/Help on the game.
• Graphic design of the game.
• Interaction with external services.
• State management giving the ability to save and load the state of the game.

Visit the  Mix site now and add a vote and I look forward to your comments.
