I think Farseer should be enough for all programmers using XNA and Farseer to create cross platform development (Silverlight 2.0 and XNA).

So Farseer is enough commonality in your case. I think something like SilverSprite would be great especially for game play demos on the web or web tutorials which apparently I need to make for my game.

ZMan I didn't mean to whine, I am a bit of a Libertarian so I prefer less moderation than most, free speech and all that, I know you are doing this for the XNA community and not pay.

Cheers,

Glen

Yes Farseer is physics library.
But it made a lot of coding for XNA & Silverlight compatibility (just for Farseer), but for me it is good enough.

"Man its confusing when people wake up year old threads with something new..."

Well if you start a new thread people will lock it and tell you it has already been discussed and that you should search the forums :)

Original thread "XNA Announced to support Silverlight at Mix"
Wake up post "Look at this 3rd party library that is similar"

We lock threads when there is already a duplicate thread and people are lazy, not just becuase we have nothing better to do.

Really I should have split this after the 1st post becuase its already heading off topic...

Try to have some sympathy for the mods here, we have enough to deal with without people whining about things...

Isn't FarSeer a physics library?

I am glad XNA shipped when it did and I am glad XNA is what it is. It is my favorite managed environment. Just give me some cycles and strong API.

Hmm.. I think Farseer is close to be good solution for XNA & silverlight, cross programming.

I wrote small app few weeks ago using Farseer and Silverlight:

Something like Bill Reiss' SilverSprite.

Yeah, thats what we are talking about.... and why I felt the need to clarify given the thread title.

I would like to see the XNA model (Update, Draw, Pipeline) in Silverlight. Something like Bill Reiss' SilverSprite. I really like the XNA model of writing apps.

Before everyone gets too excited note that this is NOT an official XNA on silverlight solution, nor do we know if one will ever exist or is being worked on. (since thats what this thread from a year ago is about and with MIX 09 around the corner people may get confused. Right now we still have no clue what Ray Ozzie was on about...)

Bills library is very cool and supports a good subset of the 2d XNA stuff right now... if you want to help out its on codeplex. http://www.codeplex.com/silversprite

Hi all,

I personally don't think it would be a great idea to have full integration support on XNA with everything not getting things such as a browser in the Xbox or integrated live services (even if the latter is more usefull).

I like to get one experience in one machine and have another one with the other. This allows hardware conceptors to create the best design for what the machine is aiming.

PC is a great box for a lot of things while the Xbox 360 is the perfect machine today for next gen games or casual games that you find in the Xbox Live Arcade.

I agree with everything Shaun is saying and they definitely made the right decision when deciding to launch in 2006. At the same time though I'm still just a little confused what Ray was talking about when he mentions XNA "on a game console" in the same breath has talking about Silverlight. Was this just a "now Silverlight plays with .Net this is possible (but we're not doing it)" because if it was it confused a few people, me included. Obviously you can't put words in his mouth, only he knows what he meant when he said it, but we all (most of us) can speculate.

Shawn Hargreaves:
That seems a little harsh :-)

Yes I agree.

ps. I know all limitations for XNA and I'm glad that it is present on the market and that it is free. I'm just _supprised_ that we are talking about Silverlight on Xbox360/XNA, when there is no WPF/e on CompactFramework just in .NET MicroFramework...
