Tech-Ed 2009: Birds-of-a-Feather on Casual Gaming

Each year at Tech-Ed they have a set of sessions called “Birds-of-a-Feather” these sessions are open discussions around topics that the community has interest in. No formal powerpoint presentations, just a moderator and a bunch of people that have similar interests. This year I submitted a topic that I would love to be included.

Do you have a favorite way to integrate sound, or check for two sprites colliding? How about controlling movement or loading game boards. Lets discuss how we all can leverage the power of the Silverlight framework, to build amazing games.
