Silverlight Pirates! Prototype

by Cameron Albert 23. January 2008 15:29

The Silverlight Pirates! prototype is online!

Keep in mind that this is a very early prototype and about the only thing you can do is destroy that other ship that is sitting there. I didn't get the enemy AI quite where I wanted it but it will fire on you if you get close. You can sail around and dock at ports, although you can't buy anything yet. Once your ammo runs out you will have to refresh the page to reload the game. You will also have to refresh if the enemy ship kills you.

On my TODO list are:

  • boundaries to keep you from sailing on forever
  • merchant ships to attack
  • better enemy AI so the merchants will run and man-o-war will chase
  • sea monsters
  • whirlpools
  • storms, which should be a big challenge
  • menu for when you are at port to buy ammo or repair your ship
  • gold and/or ammo drops from enemy ships

If you find any funky bugs please let me know and of course, you will need Silverlight 1.1 in order to run the prototype.

Hey Cameron - looking good!

One minor thing, I think your silverlight.js file might be for version 1.0, I took a peak. This is an issue with the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha tools. It would only cause issues for users who have not yet installed the 1.1 alpha.

You can just snag a copy of silverlight.js from another site that has the 1.1 version.

I swapped that js file out for a 1.1 version.

Thanks for pointing that out!

I receive the error of AG_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR with Page.xaml on line nine position two. Why is that? I've also a have trouble viewing Nexon Korean's Fun Site's pages with Silverlight video (not on index, but pages linked to those thumbnails). Anyone would like to tell me? Is it that Silverlight 2.0(?) is quite different than 1.0 which these sites are using?
