Richard Costall & Pete McGann are pleased to announce their “Silverlight” Manic Miner game Beta is now live on the NxtGenUG site. Manic Miner was originally written by Matthew Smith, under games company Bug-Byte in 1983. The game was a landmark title in
the history of gaming.
The original classic features 20 caverns to negotiate, and Pete and Rich had lovingly created 9 of these so far, with more to follow shortly. Silverlight Manic Miner shares a custom built ‘time based’ engine with an XNA version of the game. A library of c#
files is shared between the two systems. The Silverlight edition is also integrated into the NxtGenUG site, through Application services, and registered visitors can have their high scores recorded and shown in a leader board which refreshes every 30 seconds.
