Some great games at the time were N, Meatboy, and Quadradius. Had Flash not died, and instead been allowed to flourish I think there would now be a huge market for web games that would co-exist alongside mobile games and steam, and I’d probably be using Flash to deploy games to all platforms. Around 2005 to 2013 there was an extremely vibrant and creative ecosystem around browser web games facilitated by Flash. I think the parent comment may have been slightly exaggerating with their comment regarding game quality, but I certainly agree with them on the overarching point they are making. How long until you require a "WSL license"?įirefox is tearing at the seams and soon we will see the web dominated with chrome only websites. They want you to use WSL and that, I wouldn't trust with a toothpick.

I would be starting to worry because with the recent antics with Microsoft and Windows 11, they don't want you to install any other OS.

I'm, not sure that NVIDIA linux drivers were even a thing then. When Flash was a thing, you still needed to configure X, lucky to have sound, and even then required configuring your screen, mouse and keyboard manually. "Flash didn't work on Linux" was because Linux wasn't a usable desktop unlike to what it is now. It wasn't until Linux threatened the Windows OS later on that development for Linux really took off and corporations took Linux more seriously long after Flash's coffin was nailed tightly shut. Patched the exploits, however it felt like days after the purchase they had started nailing the coffin shut. Windows 圆4 wasn't even a thing in mainstream.įlash was in Adobe hands and when the Linux plugin arrived, Adobe could of pushed development. Those who use Linux today if lived in that time, I'd wager a large majority would of been running Windows. In those days, Linux was seen as an hacker OS and the likes of Ubuntu were niche and nerdy. None of that wound up getting forward-ported into the ES5+ fork of the timeline.ĭifferent times though. That's why ES4/AS3 has a lot of "Java-esque" features like namespaces and interfaces, and gets rid of prototype inheritance.

Originally they wanted to license the JVM but Sun was high on their "compatibility means compatibility" horse and said no. AFAIK there's Sorenson Spark, some Samsung font rendering library, some DRM stuff, and a few other things The intent was that AS3 would actually become "JavaScript 2.0" or ECMAScript 4! But this was killed off as being "too complex" and ES4 is just a weird alternate-universe ECMAScript spec.
#UPDATE FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE#
Remember that proprietary software is more viral than the GPL.īut they actually DID release a lot of FOSS during the AS3 days: the AS3 runtime and base class libraries were all Free Software, because Adobe and Mozilla were collaborating on it. The player probably couldn't have been released as FOSS, because of all the various libraries in Flash Player that Macromedia and Adobe used. well, they're still selling Adobe Animate. This was intended to stop Unity developers from just compiling Unity games to Flash and not paying for Flash CS6, except what it actually did was just push everyone to Unity's own browser plugin (and later HTML5 export).Īs for why they didn't FOSS it.

They actively tried to enshittify the platform by charging a revshare to game developers for using cross-compiled code with Stage3D. >Adobe let Flash languish after the purchase of Macromedia. Maybe WASM deployables will fill the gap. We could have started to iteratively polish it into a standard. I wish Adobe had donated it all (editor and runtime) to the w3c as open source. If you discount the awful splash pages it enabled, the work being done in Flash was leagues above the web games you see today. Microsoft hated Flash because of the security flaws and how deeply their browser integrated into the host OS.Ĭreators, however, used it to make the best experiences. (In fact, one of my favorite analogies for Flash is to imagine if YouTube was interactive - that was Flash.)Īpple hated Flash as it undermined their complete control over their device (no runtimes). Flash also competed with YouTube for eyeballs. Google hated Flash since they couldn't index it and use it for making money. Nothing has ever been as easy to use, easy to deploy, comprehensive in capability, and complete in functionality.Īdobe let Flash languish after the purchase of Macromedia.
Moreover, we lost the best authorship tool of its kind. We lost incredible capabilities when Adobe abandoned it and Apple signed its death warrant. Flash was an amazing platform and we should not forget it.
