A little while ago I decided to start doing monthly projects. Attack of the Meeplings was the first of such projects.

I’ve got another idea for another game that I could do in around a month, a sort of maze based shooter. But because I’m about to finish uni in June, I have decided that I need to add something to my portfolio that isn’t a game.  I’m getting a new laptop soon, which means that I can work on things during my (sometimes very long) intervals between lectures.

So I’m going to have a go at learning Silverlight, Microsofts new browser technology. I’ve got an idea for a fairly short but pretty cool project to do, so once I get my laptop setup with Visual Studio 2008 I’m going to get started down that path.

I’ll be blogging about what I discover and my progress with the project, so others who might be thinking about trying out Silverlight can get a little insight into what it might involve, and what features are present (and perhaps missing) at this stage in the Silverlight life cycle.
