Today is the Tesla's birthday

From Lucera we invite you to read the biography of this great genius of mankind.

There are a lot of resources on the web about how this great genius was fooled again and again, to start we leave you the wikipedia link, but we invite you to do a little research on your own:

Windows Phone 7

(copied from our new blog, please visit it)

This week we are in Barcelona getting a course on Microsoft's future mobile: Windows Phone 7.


Currently it looks awesome, especially the Expression Blend tool, which allows you to create applications for WPF, Silverlight and the future Windows Phone 7. I will mention that, for now you have to install a plug-in to compile apps for the Windows Phone 7 emulator, but at the end of this year a special free version will be available to do it.

This plugin includes an emulator that works pretty well, despite it is a bit slow starting the operating system.

The downside is that you can only program for the future mobile in C#, so that if we want to see our games in this new device, we would have to port both our game engine and the games themselves to C#, which does not look pretty feasible at this moment (We'll see it).
