It really depends on how is your game? You would like to make an online one or the offline one. Online one means you allow people to play to game together which includes the techniques of Sockets (I think most probably). If it is an offline one, it really depends on the logic flow of your game.
Mostly, people create their game as adventure one. Here you should be very good at class coz their is so mant Events(Game event).
If it is some like racing, it does have little to do, but the HitTest.
As there are many kinds of game to develop, you have to state what kind of game you would like to create, so that we can help you in particular =)

Here is a website
http://silverlightrocks.com/community/blogs/silverlight_games_101/default.aspx
I dont know it helps you how much. Coz in my opinion, you should learn different techniques instead of create the game at once. Creating a game requires lots of techniques which are accumulated when you write any programme. Anyway, wish you can create a good game

I think that the fastest and easiest way for a novice to quickly get up and running with game development in Silverlight is through Popfly. Here's a link to the website:

I hope that this helps!

farbodkain, start simple with by making a game called "Tic-Tac-Toe." The game board could be a 3x3 grid of Buttons, and you could change the 'content' and 'color' properties of the Buttons to represent the X and O player. "Pong" is another simple game. Then, progress to "Mario" and "Tetris" clones. Keep expanding your game engine, and who knows maybe there will be a really good 3D engine for Silverlight one day. (One with yummy HLSL)

if you want to create an offline game with a silverlight-related technology, use wpf, (windws presentation foundation) silverlight's big brother.
you can find out more on www.windowsclient.com or have a look into the wpf forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/threads/
if you want to have some practical instructions on doing things with silverlight und wpf, visit www.nibblestutorials.net
hope i could help.

Hi, I think i know what you are actually looking for. I found a site where they developed several games in silverlight and also given there sourccode of the game. I think that should be very helpful in your current situation. You could study those and can create a sub game from them if needed. The source code if free for use..
The site link is:
http://nokola.com/
The is a tutorial for each sample. I hope that helps.

i'd suggest using this game here: http://dobbschallenge2.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=29
this is from a Silverlight game competition that just ended, but you're still able to download the source code and modify it. the download is already a complete game so you don't have to start from nothing - you can just change whatever you want to and get used to working with the code.
the winners of this competition are listed here so you can see how creative the results were: http://dobbschallenge2.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=31
