Windows Phone 7 applications are popping up left and right lately. this time it’s a game named Towers Of Hanoi (inspired but the Towers of Hanoi iPhone game) developed by a one man crew at ElucidSoft:

So I have been developing a couple Windows Phone 7 Applications in Silverlight in anticipation for the October release of the phone, below is a preview of the first game I have written that is a Towers of Hanoi game. It was relatively easy to do, only took me total of 2 weeks development time and that was with 2 full time clients at the same time. I could have easily pulled this off in 3-4 days time, which just goes to show you the sheer amount of power that Silverlight is offering up here on this platform!

You can watch the game in action afer the break:

There are already 100Ks of Silverlight developers all over the world and every one of them could probably write a Windows Phone 7 application without much trouble. The future of the platform will depend on Microsoft’s developer evangelisation and ability to update the OS with new features quickly.
