In this video, I'm running a preview version of QuakeLight a Silverlight-based port of Quake.  Its very impressive to see an old-school classic game come to life in Silverlight 2.  Stunned, along with others, I interviewed Julien Frelat about the story behind QuakeLight, coding techniques used and when there will be a public release.

Can't wait to get an opportunity to review the code. Please show this as a live demo @ PDC 2008!

I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
Obviously faked.

Awesome post, this makes Silverlight look amazing in my opinion.

Wonder if this will draw John Carmack into developing for the platform...

The machine I used while shooting the video has a 3.0 GHz processor and 4GB of RAM.  That was also running on my secondary monitor as the primary monitor was displaying my script.  (Just kidding there was no script, just fumes from the permanent marker).

Are you going to be at PDC?  I could show it to you live if you wanted Smiley

How many cores? Smiley I'd be interested in the performance on a 1.6GHz single core, cause Silverlight is horribly slow there. Sad
How many frames per second would you get? Tongue Out

Only one core, so if it scaled linearly, since I was getting around 55 fps, you would get around 29 fps.  But tha't probably over simplifying it quite a bit. Smiley
