So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

You'd think they would have called it Flashlight.

I know withe latest Silverlight, videos look better than Flash video, but I'm not sure what the other capabilities are for Silverlight.
As far as video is concerned, if you've converted it to a Flash format, the video has already lost some quality. Since converting it to Silverlight won't make the quality better (I would think), I can't see what the advantage of converting would be.
My guess is that I'm missing something here and video is either just a small piece of the puzzle or not even part of this at all. Can somebody fill me in?

all I know is that silverlight supports graphics hardware acceleration and flash does not.. or so I've heard.

Hmmm, Silverlight is no where near as popular as flash or as feature capable... why the hell would anyone want to convert from a well supported format to another less supported one?

Do you mean that this contraption disassembles SWFs and then translates the outcome to Silverlight assets? Yeah, it's bound to be trouble!
Because, as a developer, you would not need that to be extracted from the SWF but from the FLA files instead.
By the way, an SWF file is not a video file. Back then, when we had no FLV video, SWF flipped through heavily compressed JPG files and played the synced MP3 audio. Nowadays SWF files are used to play either FLV video and MP4.
Now, this seems to be intended to be used with SWF animations, which is not exactly video, but animated vectors and such.
