I miss Flash

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It was so good! Has anything really filled the gap? I guess some game engines are able to handle 2d but the simplicity of flash made it awesome

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Flash, by its nature was a security risk. HTML5 can do a lot, as well as various game engines, e.g. Godot. Unfortunately, they also lack the simplicity of flash.

Fill the gap in what sense? Development?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah a GUI based development platform to create code driven animations and interactive web based games

HTML5 with canvas API is meant to fill the gap. And it's really powerful. There are some 2D game engines using that tech and awesome games like tetr.io using it.

Whenever I hear "this thing is powerful" my brain replaces it with "this thing has a really steep learning curve". The reason flash was so popular is that it was easy to learn the basics.

Got it. I guess Unity could be considered a successor, and I'm sure there are similar tools out there.

But yeah, Flash was more ubiquitous and sort of fun to use.

And the series is still going!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Yes! If anyone reading this hasn't watched any of Alan Beckers videos, do it! All of them are gold.

If you love this kind of stuff, look up the game Your Only Move Is Hustle.
