Hoping the theme will be inspiring and will kick me into creating a little game.

I fancy doing something in Silverlight has I’ve never used it.  If I do, I may use some of the code from this tutorial.  http://cgeers.com/category/programming/silverlight/

If not in silverlight, xna will be the framework of choice.  Will use a subversion repository and perhaps TeamCity for CI and Build.

As usual, Visual Studio 2010, Paint.Net and perhaps a microphone for sound effects or music.

Finger cross I get the time and inspiration.
