Cli-Q is a space-travel puzzle game on Silverlight advertising S# language as scripting language for games.
Cliq-Q exposes simple object model allowing developer easily extend functionality, create new levels and in future - new types of gaming objects.
The game field contains player object - white circle, win point - orange circle and a number of static obstacles and dynamic objects. Static obstacles simply stops player object from further movement, while dynamic objects - such as triangles may change direction of further movement:

As I’ve promised few weeks ago there is now Silverlight version of Script.NET. I’ve searched through Web and I think this is a first fully functional scripting engine for Silverlight. If this is wrong - please notify me at piter.protsyk@gmail.com and I will correct this information. Please also note that my understanding of scripting is quite different from those of Microsoft’s view with regards of IronPython and IronRuby. Both of these languages emits IL code and generates dynamic assemblies/method which then executed on .NET. In contrast Script.NET is a pure interpreted language which has a number of advantages.
To proof a concept of Script.NET for Silverlight I’ve created the On-Line calculator on its basis:
Silverlight 2.0 Calculator Based on Script.NET
Sources & Binaries
Enjoy!
It can execute any valid Script.NET expression and has access to only one .NET type - Math.

Today I am glad to announce the first version of Script.NET which is able to run on Compact Framework (3.5).
It could be downloaded by the following link:
Script.NET for CF.
Also I would like to thank Steve Higgins without whom CF version of Script.NET most probably would not appear.
Meantime, in the nearest future I will produce a Silverlight version of Script.NET.

Suppose you need to start 5 instances of the same process simultaneously. There are no problems until those process does not use resources exclusively. For example they are trying to write to the same log file at the same time:
In this case you will need to synchronize them in a some way. You may want to make those processes to run some sections of code in a mutually exclusive mode:
This may be naturally achieved by introducing a mutex synchronization. The sample below shows this approach on practice: mutex.zip
To see the results start several instances of this application at the same time, and the release mutex lock by pressing any key on the application’s console. You will see how other processes will react on this event:

Today I am glad to announce a new improved version of Script.NET. It got its number 1.2. It is not yet a replacement for a previous branch, but is a more treated as public community preview version to gather your feedback.
You may find a download-able package by the link below:
Download Script.NET 1.2
This version achieved a new milestone in the continuous development and improvement of scripting engine. Now, it is even more customizable, more thread safe and more stable then previous releases.
Current version is open for functionality requests and suggestions. So please go ahead and email them: piter.protsyk@gmail.com
Please expect official release of the renewed Script.NET in May together with a new web site containing more complete help information, new tutorials and examples.
