Ascending Integration is excited to introduce our latest Demo application, highlighting the power of Microsoft's latest technology Silverlight.

It's an online version of a very popular board game called Khet, which combines classic (chess like) strategy with a fun twist that uses lasers and mirrors. Players alternate turns moving Egyptian-themed pieces having two, one or no mirrored surfaces. All four types of pieces (pharaoh, obelisk, pyramid and djed column) can either move one square forward, back, left, right, or diagonal, or can stay in the same square and rotate by a quarter twist. Each turn ends by firing one of the lasers built into the board. The laser beam bounces from mirror to mirror; if the beam strikes a non-mirrored surface on any piece, it is immediately removed from play. The ultimate goal is to illuminate your opponent's pharaoh, while shielding yours from harm!
