AS3 and VKontakte apps and games for me. Not really got me into programming, I did some J2ME before, but Flash certainly did end up shaping my life quite a lot.

AS3 and VKontakte apps and games for me. Not really got me into programming, I did some J2ME before, but Flash certainly did end up shaping my life quite a lot. It's honestly a shame there's no technology currently in existence that would allow this kind of creativity, with a barrier to entry as low as Flash had.

- grishka 6y agoFlash: you open the page, it plays. There might be one additional click required depending on your browser settings. This: you open the page but it needs to be downloaded. You download it. You unzip it. You see that it's a Windows executable but you're on a Mac. You open it hoping that wine will run it. It does. You choose your graphics settings. You click OK. It plays. Though I'm aware that Unity is capable of running on the web, I haven't seen that capability used much.
