Silicon Commander Games = Strategy!

Download Solar Vengeance Version 5.1 (freeware!)

Silicon Commander Games offers free game development component libraries, and strategy games.  Our goal is to provide MultiPlayer strategy games that are easy to learn but offer rich challenges, and will reward players who take the time to master the intricacies of the game strategies.

The newest wave of development targets Microsoft Silverlight, and the next generation of our games will likely run in the browser via Silverlight.  Click here to follow the current state of Solar Vengeance Silverlight!

Customizable Games

Silicon Commander Games continues to push the cutting edge of "customizable" computer games.  We open up several areas where you can extend the game by programming your own computer players, scenarios, and other additions, using standard C# coding.

  • Programmable Scenarios
    Each game comes with a number of different Scenarios that offer a variety of challenges.  You can also program your own Scenarios using the C# language.  Your Scenario is compiled directly into the game, offering an unlimited amount of customization possibilities.  New Scenarios created by community members will be included in the core games as time goes on.
     
  • Programmable Brains
    A "Brain" is a computer opponent that plays using its own strategy.  Brains have varying skill levels, and offer different levels of challenge to players.  You can also program your own Brains in C# and integrate them into the game.  This makes our games Artificial Intelligence (AI) development laboratories!  We run rankings of the Brains submitted by community members, so you can see which ones are the most powerful, or try to beat the leader with your own programmed masterpiece.
     
  • MultiPlayer Action
    After you have surpassed the Brains, you should take on a real challenge and play an experienced human opponent!  Log into our PrismServer and player others over the Internet.  We also maintain MultiPlayer game logs, and a ranking system that is updated automatically whenever a MultiPlayer game ends.
     
  • Open-Source Libraries
    Our games utilize the free open-source libraries PrismServer (for client/server communication) and TurboSprite (the animation engine).  You can download and explore these libraries to get a better idea of how are games work under the hood, and who knows, maybe eventually develop your own games?

We are proud to announce that Solar Vengeance Version 5.1 is available for Release!
