Creating your first game on Popfly
0Microsoft Popfly (internally codenamed Springfield) is a website that allows users to create web pages, program snippets, and mashups using the Microsoft Silverlight rich internet applications runtime and the set of online tools provided. Popfly is currently in Beta stage of development. It requires users to log in with their Windows Live ID, and provide additional information about themselves when logging in for the first time to use Popfly.
Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Popfly
http://www.popfly.com | I will be giving a tutorial on how to create a game on popfly. I personally think making a game on popfly all boils down to 3 simple general steps.
1. Ideas
2. Creating the game
3. Tweak the game to make it better
I will be teaching mainly the second stage, the creation of the game. I will pull in some simple functions which most people will be using when they are creating a game on popfly. Without further ado, we will start the fun!
Microsoft Walk the Success Lane & Mash-it-up Awards
0On Saturday, Hairiandy, Sunny, Kelvin, Jireh, Kenneth, me and 2 other friends of Kelvin went to Microsoft Walk the Success Lane & Mash-it-up Awards at One Marina Boulevard.
We have the following,
- “Microsoft Academic Programs” by Pratibha Kumar, Academic Developer Evangelist.
- Bringing Data to Life using Windows Presentation Foundation by Chris Ismael, Developer Evangelist
- Get Connected for Life with Social Media! by Jonathan Wong, Web Platform Evangelist
- Address by Jessica Tan, Managing Director, Microsoft Singapore
- plus some prize giving
It was really a talk that teaches me a lot of things. We then have a small chat with different Microsoft Empolyees and some people I know from MSP interview. The top 3 finalist for Mash It Up! also presented their projects, there is one which I think is really good which is the inviting.me. They got 3rd though but I would say its really good effort put in and they are pretty useful too!
