Silverlight TruckWars is a real-time strategy game built entirely in Silverlight. I recently releases version 1.3. The biggest thing is that I've now open-sourced it on CodePlex.

 

Check it out:

I've also added several enhancements

• Added hold-able objects, like a key

• Gameplay enhancmeents.

  • The biggest one is that selecting any creature now provides help text.

  • Destroying an enemy unit now can optionally provide a "treasure", like a powerup or key.

• Lots more powerups:

  • Bounce - projectile bounces off walls

  • Thrust - doubles your thrust

  • Clone - clones the creature that got the powerup

  • Health - plus 50 health points

• New creatures & levels

  • LandMine

  • Giant Tank
