Silverlight AI Game

Today I am releasing my first demo version of Silverlight AI Game developed using Minimax algorithm.

The Game:
Sholo Guti is a very popular game of Bangladesh. Even though it is similar to Checkers, the board is more attractive, and there's a little variation in the rules. The pawns can move to any direction indicated on the board. Unlike Checkers, you can leave any possible captures if you wish.

Silverlight dynamic point to point animation with EasingFunction

Download the source here:
Final output below:


My article is divided into two section:
Section 1: Will show you how to create a point to point animation with EasingFunction using Blend
Section 2: How to set the point value dynamically in code behind

Section 1:
I will ignore the project creation part.
I will use a simple Layout in MainPage.xaml




 Lets open the MainPage.xaml in Expression Blend and create a Storyboard








In the timeline select image add a KeyFrame to 0 sec




























Add the end keyFrame at 2 sec and move the image to some location (some location because the location will be controlled from the code behind)





























Now add back EasingFunction to the end keyFrame:





















Section -2:
Storyboard creation is completed. Now modify the generated XAML to control it from code behind:
 Modify the animation point with some random value from code behind:















Thats the end..
