Chad Campbell has posted an amazing example of using WPF/e to create a slider puzzle with live video running in each of the squares. You complete the puzzle and the video image is complete.

It’s not absolutely seamless, but I still think it’s great. He briefly explains how it works (loading the video nine times – one for each square – and defining each as a seperate Canvas then using the Clip property in conjunction with a mathemtatical offset (Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left) to determine what part of the video is visible to the user playing the game.

Source code is available, too, so if you’ve got the WPF/e SDK installed you can step through it for yourself.

Since the WPF/e CTP was released last week there have been a fair number of posts debating the relative merits of Microsoft’s new XAML-based technology over Adobe’s incumbent Flash technology.

Linked to my previous post, the first “WPF/E” CTP has been released today, too. You can find details, including some very nice looking example code on Scott Guthrie’s blog.
