Hey adobe if you want Flash get/stay on more platforms. fix CPU usage or open source it. its that simple. #
Apple, Google, Microsoft, Linux are all slowly/clearly moving away from Flash. anyone who is not concerned is naive or delusional. #
@ElliotXtreme – youtube = google. in reply to ElliotXtreme #
@photonstorm i have a feeling google is doing something with html5 for the vid delivery part. web apps/ria are going to javascript. #
Even with games – Flash is losing developers to unity and even more with xcode now that its for 3 hot devices (iphone/ipod/ipad) #
@ElliotXtreme Google is pro javascript from the start, i think they knew then that a closed proprietary technology has more cons than pros in reply to ElliotXtreme #
@rosedragoness javascript is not java. in reply to rosedragoness #
i love flash. i am just concerned how adobe is handling the onslaught. save for facebook games every front is eroding. #
@ElliotXtreme wait a minute. you want flash to disappear, go open source or be made better? in reply to ElliotXtreme #
@monteboyd flash player sucks battery, keeps crashing browsers, etc. Why not open source that & let community fix it. they cant seem to. in reply to monteboyd #
just downloaded some tank tracks sound effect from soundsnap. i love that site. #
@JeffWeber i think given the history of MS and the stake with .net, MS is going after Flash's neck. any semblance of diplomacy is short-term in reply to JeffWeber #
is it sensible to have two versions of the flash player/vm? proprietary and open-sourced? i bet that would put flash into more devices. #
my top 3 iphone games right now are mini-squadron, bejeweled blitz, and crush the castle. #

nope! still think the iPad is a horrible name.. #

Youtube WILL drop Flash in the next 2 years: case in point http://jilion.com/sublime/video – a very good starting point for html5 video. #
@MattRix i know. the point was its being improved rapidly by lots of people because its opensource. ever1 says youtube is just experimenting in reply to MattRix #
@GenoBaby thats not an impossible task to solve, google has solved much much more difficult problems. in reply to GenoBaby #
@MattRix Apple problem is 1/2 cpu/battery usage & crashes. problems 5 years & counting. if open sourced flash would be better 4 it. in reply to MattRix #
@MattRix Apple has pulled out Flash out of safari and have publicly stated that most of their support tickets are caused by flash. in reply to MattRix #
@MattRix but i think apple wanted adobe to fix it a long time ago (pre iphone) and just blocked them off out of spite. but what do i know in reply to MattRix #
the other 1/2 of why apple dont want flash on their devices are games, and video/mp3 streaming. it will undermine their stores. #
but kinda silly since its on hardware they are getting their margins. makes you think that its their content partners who want flash out. #
@scobleizer on Flash http://scobleizer.com/2010/01/30/can-flash-be-saved/ #

Come ye Fusion Tanks!

Eric — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:06:02 +0000

FUSION Tanks (mutiplayer edition) – a.k.a Ftanks

Experience multi-player tank mayhem unlike any other. 5 chaotic weapons, 4 battlefields, destructible terrain, smooth controls, and the all-new Fusion system. Collect fallen tank turrets and fuse them with yours. Rain terror with up to 4 turrets!

Powered by Come2play, Fusion tanks allows you to challenge your friends even if you are on different websites or social networks like Facebook.

Battles don’t have to be just fun, put your coins at stake with come2play’s betting system which enables the TankSaw ™ – cut tanks in half and automatically fuse their turrets!

Watch out for the public beta in a few weeks.

Ftanks and Pushbutton Engine

the $11,000 Come2Play Challenge!

Eric — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:42:12 +0000

Our friends over at come2play.com has two cool offers for game developers.

GET up to $3,000 in funding for your previously released game!

If you have a single-player game with over 100,000 game plays and a rating over 3.5 on Kongregate or Newgrounds. Come2play will pay you up to $3,000 to create a multiplayer version of it! I would recommend our fellow game developers to extend their old game with a simple multiplayer concept. The key is do not overspec the multiplayer version and just go simple. It will be a good way to earn more from an old game, extend the game’s IP, and learn the basic of multiplayer design.

IN ADDITION to the funding, your game will be included in the judging contest with over $8000 in prizes!

$5,000 for first place,

$2,000 for second place

$1,000 for third place.

You can enter a NEW game or a retrofitted (with the come2play API) game. Contest runs through January 1st through March 31st, More details here: http://come2play.com/dev_inner.asp?f=1&newsid=337

We are using come2play on our next game: FTanks . Good luck and aim for the prize!

Ftanks update – approaching beta

Eric — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 03:07:30 +0000

Still late but we think we can go beta this week. The terrain destruction system is undergoing some heavy optimization because it drops the framerate by 50% when it recalculates the terrain during an explosion. We are trying a ‘grid based recalculation by area’ method to restrict the part it recalculates. The come2play API is quirky and has some learning curve to make it behave optimally but nothing a deep dive can’t fix. Thats all for the technical wizardy my partner is doing. As for my part, here are a few new assets in the repository;

@frederictessier i mean an mspaint like source code made from actionscript3 (flash). I want to embed one in a website. in reply to frederictessier #
@pperon – here is an example but something closer to mspaint is what im looking for, http://tinyurl.com/4lnj2t in reply to pperon #
found not quite what im looking for but still a good one, could be useful for other devs. http://tinyurl.com/yj79vt6 #
