I've worked as flash animator and designer for the last 12 years... i agree that flash has become a bloated piece of **** since Adobe bought it... the Internet has changed and Flash didn't keep up, but i seriously doubt HTML5 will replace it in the near future, lets see.

the only thing i see missing from html5 is some audio features for games. they need to work on that. the rest is covered pretty well.

Its hard enough to create a performing application for Android using pure Java code.
A Gamestudio "Android engine" would be either unusable for its low FPS, or be a totally different concept and platform.
(So you could not use any PC ressourcs anyhow)

of course you can't use the same high detail assets as on a high end pc but it wouldn't be unusable. why would gamestudio be much slower than unity for example?

i don't understand what you mean? a pure java application is slower than a c/c++ application, not faster.

I develop Android Games.

Even using C will not increase the performance much compared to
the Java VM.
if an Engine is between that its even slower.

Android is not as fast as the iPhone. Especially if you have to
cover the older 1.5 Phones.

Its not as comparing a high End PC to a Supermarket Starter Pc,
its more as comparing a current high End PC to a PC from 1998.

yes, there are different android platforms. some are faster, some slower but on the 1998 pc, games like half-life were possible. you can still easily work on this graphical level with gamestudio if you want to. why will unity and others have android ports soon if engines like those are unusable on it?

Flash is crap? Yeah, heh heh... Sure it's crap for webpages, but it's in general not crap. (I wonder why I visited this forum again? D:<)


bye bye.

there are many reasons why it's crap.

one of them is that it's responsible for 99% of all browser crashes.

Hehe yeah I agree in that point it always crashes my browser

But it's a great program IMO.

A good alternative for a web plugin would be a gamestudio games manager that streams the game over internet from a server that holds the games. Much like this awomo service:

But to build that you'll need a solid team with experts.
