Check out CascadeCE, a new game from Wintellect on Silverlight for Windows Embedded
Cascade is an easy-to-learn, casual game where the object is to explode as many
spheres as possible to obtain the highest score. The game is written in Silverlight
3 and demonstrates several types of animation: from traditional storyboards to manual,
timer-based ones. Cascade incorporates additional Silverlight functionality such
as Local Storage for maintaining the high-score list, custom Xaml cursors, sound
effects, and other features. Try your hand at the standard Silverlight version of
Cascade and see how high you can score at

CascadeCE is a port of the Cascade game to the Silverlight for Windows Embedded
platform, a new platform for Silverlight development from Microsoft. You can read
more about this new Microsoft technology here:

CascadeCE demonstrates how developers can leverage the power of Silverlight for
Windows Embedded CE to create attractive user interfaces in XAML using tools like
Expression Blend while continuing to harness the full power of the Windows Embedded
CE platform through C++ code.

In order to compile and run CascadeCE, you need to install the Wintellect Cashmere
SDK, which delivers a Windows Embedded 6.0R3 emulator that includes support for
Silverlight for Windows Embedded CE as well as the headers and libraries necessary
to compile your own Silverlight for Windows Embedded CE applications.
Since the game runs slowly under an emulator, it is recommended that the development
platform be at least a Core2Duo or higher in order to achieve the best performance.
