I’ve been evaluating the new Microsoft Silverlight technology recently, and have ported a game I wrote a while ago to run on it. Nibbles (sometimes called Snake) is the classic game where you guide a snake around collecting numbers and avoiding obstacles. You can play my version of it online here. It should run in IE or FireFox and can supposedly even run on a Mac. You will need to install the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha plugin first though. You can think of Silverlight as Microsoft’s equivalent to Flash, but it has the nice advantage that you can program it using .NET code.
